What is it
about this twilight hour?
Even the sound
of a barely perceptible breeze
pierces the heart.

I know that feeling! And I was this moment wondering what it is about one stretch of hillside across the valley from us that touches me. Every time. Some connections we never can understand.
So agree!
and I’m drawn to it over and over
Yes!
The siren song of a new day, pregnant with possibility….
That it is
Hope yours is a terrific one, pal….
So beautiful…and melancholy
Yes…

It’s amazing how many faces this area has. Your photos are all slightly different. So many slight changes. Always something to look forward to.
So agree Anneli. And there are mornings when I start out in a “Ho Hum” frame of mind and boom, a flash of light and the show is on!
Dave, you did it AGAIN. I start reading you, then move over to your sources (this time Memory’s Landscape), I read more, search a bit something and finally, some hours have passed, I didn’t do what I should have done and there’s no food on the table, the shopping gets forgotten, and the day is nearing its end!!!!
What a treasure you discovered here for us.
Awesome. Memory’s Landscape is a Wonder of the World!
