Lover of the Light

Have you ever heard of heliophilia?  Apparently it's an attraction or adaptation to sunlight, as the sunflower. I don't think I've stumbled across a word I love so much in a long time.  I live for the sunshine.  Even though I appreciate rain and fog, I think I am even happier and more fulfilled as a person when it's a sunny day.  I bloom under bountiful yellow rays of light, and had no idea such an awesome description of my desire for sunshine existed.  Consider me a heliophile, especially considering sunny days are rare in the Bay area.

Scene from the weekend. I love that this is basically my backyard.
