At 6:30 in the morning...don't even ask why I was up...I happened to look out the kitchen window to see this sight in my backyard. The air was heavily laden with moisture and it had rained most of the night before. I got my bare feet wet, but it was well worth it. This is the digital negative only tweaked to give the green a bit more saturation. I don't expect I'll see anything like this again anytime soon!! :)PJ

Where are the gang PJ ?
You've certainly caught some golden rays here, & they look fab filtering through the trees, while the green lawn adds a lush finish. :o)

You were up at 6:30 because you had such a good night and were so happy you couldn't wait to greet the new day. That or you had to have a Bio break. lol. Really you were up so you could capture this outstanding study in light and shadows. John (Shads) should love this. It made me think of this song. I heard it so often years ago I wasn't sure I would ever want to hear it again. Great post PJ.

I guess I must be crop happy. The image is very nice, but the focus of the sun rays is lost a bit for me with the full picture. If some of the left side of the forest was cropped out of the picture, I think the rays would be even more outstanding than they are now.

Wow.

These are the scenes in life that add to my certainty that God is real. That He would paint such a picture for us, and then allow us the technology to save it and share it with hundreds and thousands of others who would never have seen it otherwise.
What blessings. Praise God!

And thank you for sharing such beauty with us. This is going in my favorites!
