Absolutely lovely, Kiki! Even in SA, where we have sunshine in abundance throughout the year, we celebrate the sun through the addition of sun plaques and sun faces in our gardens.

It is indeed a wonderful way to inspire and spread light to all. I liked your creativity and the way you inspire by using Sun as it is the symbol of light which ignites or lives with spirit and passion.
