After coming across your blog several times in the past year – I sat down and read several postings. What a wonderful life you are living. Thank you for sharing.
Hello Suzanne. Thank you for dropping by.
Great shot! Reminds me of a photo I have from the Sespe/Timber Creek confluence shot at about the same time of day a few winters back. That warm, clean afternoon light just lights up the place and really brings out all the reds, pinks and oranges in the sandstone.
Oh I know, I love the look of winter light!

Winter Afternoons —”
