Sunrise Sunset: 52 Weeks of Awe & Gratitude

Description:

The same vista. Never the same sun.

Much like life, the stage changes even when our vantage point doesn’t. And so it is with the rising and setting sun, no two are ever the same.

Every picture tells another color, shape and shadow story . . . whatever unfolds each day reveals the diversity and beauty of life. Birds, insects, reptiles, trees, sandy shores—all thrive under the majesty of the sun.

Weiss offers all of this as a show of gratitude, a tribute to the awe of each new day. Sunrise Sunset is replete with glorious photographs of different days and different suns captured from the very same vantage point. Kim Weiss she began documenting the awe and beauty of nature right from her 14th floor apartment building terrace.

The result: Sunrise, Sunset: 52 Weeks of Awe and Gratitude, a compact, gem of a gift book that brims with glorious color photographs. Each image reveals another hue, shape and shadow story; whatever unfolds each day is revealed in the uniqueness of the ever-changing landscape. Birds, insects, reptiles, trees, sandy shores—all thrive under the illustrious sun, documented in this moving book.

Author:

Kim Weiss (Boynton Beach, FL) has been a publicist in the book industry for many years and coaches other writers aspiring to be bestselling authors. Her love of nature and the arts began when she was just a little girl and bloomed into the writer and photographer she is today. From her 14th floor terrace she witnesses the beauty of nature and captures it through the lens of her camera. As a storyteller, Kim has contributed to the hugely popular Chicken Soup for the Soul series and The Ultimate Bird Lover with “America’s Vet” Marty Becker. You can also find Kim’s stories and photos in Arielle Ford’s acclaimed book Hot Chocolate for the Mystical Soul. When she’s not working with authors, Kim is studying opera, playing guitar, being entertained by her birds and cats, or taking photos from her terrace at sunrise and sunset.
