Sunset sentinel

23 04 2011

 

Mostly cloudy all day … then sunshine! … then, just before sunset, the sun dropped into a cloud bank. This photo of Chrome looking down at some muley girls was just before all the light dimmed … we had just the goldenest sliver of light … calm on the hill watching the deer … and then we had a flash of light again before the sun met the horizon.

Do you see Jif? 🙂

Two Boots (shedding out very light this year) and Rio were down to the right below Jif, and Hayden was up to the left.

I love this light. It’s so hard to see the dimension in the photos, I think, but being there in that softest-of-soft light just as day is turning to night is so gorgeous … almost a feeling-of-day rather than a time-of-day …

Always glorious!

A peace in his homeland at the close of day. Thank you for being there … our witness to the pure beauty of the natural world.

“At peace in his homeland at the close of day.” It’s hard to type through tears!

I wonder sometimes whether they marvel at the beauty around them … or if it’s just the place they’ve known all their lives … They do *live in the moment,* which is hard for us humans to grasp – hard for me most of the time! They make it seem so easy to just *be* where you are – what happens, happens.
