Chasing the Sun is something that my kids and I enjoy doing in our cold Winter months. It happens that on these short days, the sun rises and sets during the school run when we drive to school in a nearby village. The fields along the road wake up with us, as beams of low sunlight make their way through the clouds. At the end of the day, as we go back to the warmth of our home, we chase it again. And sometimes, only for a tiny moment, it seems like we can catch that last light of the day.
