Colour Me Surprised

The sun was his marker of time. They had no means to measure the day other than by its rhythmic rise and fall. In this world without clocks, without electronics, without money, it is all they have to show the passing of the day. The sun right above like now signified noon, the other markers were dawn and sunset. The small Lord also keow, of course, that those times move with the seasons, but they are the only practical way by which to organize ourselves or so Mother used to tell him. He kept his dual gaze upon the mighty sun as much as he could before the world around him started to slowly blur. Its rays, like fingers stretching across the sky, bring with it a new future. Gradually, the sun filled the sky with its brilliance and a warm glow to which he hoped that showed Spring was not that far around the corner.

Unf! His snout hit the ground faster than one could say 'fish' however he got back on his paws just as quickly, scanning his surroundings to make sure no one saw that.
