Here's my lovely little swamp settling in for the night. The geese were in bed. The muskrat was still. The blackbirds and robins were quiet. No other animals presented themselves, and all was peaceful. It was nice.
Like Pat, I love the contrast of the light shining out of the darkness. The light I think we all hope to see in our dark moments. Have a lovely weekend, Sandy!
Yesterday is already a dream and tomorrow is only a vision, but today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness and every tomorrow a vision of hope....stunning shot!
Isn't it so great to sleep at night and everything surrounding us is peaceful and quite, that is a good life. Great capture and thank you for sharing! Happy Friday!
What a lovely, soothing image you paint - both with pixels and with words.

ReplyDeleteSo...you live near a swamp? We live beside a small lake (a reservoir).
