LATE AFTERNOON IN THIS DEEP VALLEY ...

THE TREES ARE VERY TALL AROUND THE HIGH RIM OF THIS VALLEY, AND THE SUN SLIDES EARLY DOWN BEHIND THEM BEFORE IT SENDS ITS LIGHT TOWARD ME FROM BEHIND THE FOREST IN THE BOTTOMLAND ... IN THESE MINUTES IN THE UPPER LANDS WHERE OTHERS LIVE, THERE'S STILL A LOT OF SPACE BETWEEN BLUE SKY AND TREE TOPS, AND THE SUN'S STILL HIGH FOR THEM. i LIKE THIS SPECIAL LITTLE TIME UNIQUE TO US; WHEN MY LOWER WOODLAND CAN BE BACKLIT SO BEAUTIFULLY, WHILE THE BOWL OF CLEAR SKY OVERHEAD STILL GIVES US DOWNWARD DAYLIGHT.
