As I was finishing up a Senior session in Rising Star Saturday, I was in awe of the beautiful sunset that was before me. I have seen a lot of different sunsets from California to Hawaii; but, no sunset compares to the ones that those Big Texas skies produce. Sometimes, it’s good just to relax for a minute and take in those beautiful sunsets. We only get so many of them in our life time; so, try to enjoy as many as you can. - Ashton Castillo
