“… she had preferred night to day, had enjoyed sitting out in the yard after sunset, under the star-speckled sky listening to frogs and crickets. Darkness soothed. It softened the sharp edges of the world, toned down the too-harsh colors. With the coming of twilight, the sky seemed to recede; the universe expanded. The night was bigger than the day, and in its realm, life seemed to have more possibilities.” ―Dean Koontz, Midnight

Scott,
An intriguing photo and idea. Looking forward to the sequel.
Thanks, looking forward to what our bloggers have to say also!
I hunger for those moments of chiaroscuro in my garden. They arrive unbidden & rare throughout the year.
Occasionally I’ve been able to share with someone.
They all think it’s crazy.

Sometimes those precious moments are only meant to be savored by one. Enjoy them when you can Tara!
Sometimes it is my favorite time of “day” in the garden. Love the photo and the quote!
It has its own special beauty doesn’t it! Thanks for the comments!
