Sunbeams spotlighted the leaves on trees and bushes as well as on the ground and cast a magical spell as we passed by. Though the forest was occupied by birds, coyotes, and bears (Oh my!), as well as insects and critters that slither, it was easy to imagine mythical creatures lurking in the sunlight’s reflectionsContinue reading “Forest Light”

Irish Eyes
Saint Patrick’s Day had come and gone but its memory had not faded into the sunset. The lowering sunbeams set the green cloth and vase on the buffet aglow, and then burst into rainbow stripes that danced in the background. It was a delightful “sharin’ o’ the green” for all eyes, Irish or not. #greenContinue reading “Irish Eyes”

It comes from the Latin word, crepusculum, whichContinue reading “Crepuscular Jupiter”
Where the Sun Seldom Shines
The rising sun makes its morning magic by casting horizontal rays of light to illuminate parts of trees that seldom see direct sunlight. I almost expect to hear giggles from the trees as they are tickled by the rising rays. #trees #sunrise #sunbeams #light
Autumn Light
Twice a year, at the equinoxes, fingers of light prod across the dining room table for a final, gentle caress from the setting sun. The fall colors, awash with the subdued rays, blend together to create this scene as they always do for just a few days every year. #equinox #sunset #sunbeams #fallcolors
