A Certain Kind of Light....

It was a morning like most others, but there was a certain kind of light...

Edited with Picasa's "1960's effect"

It really was magical. I played around with the photo effects between "normal" and "1960's", and since I couldn't decide which I liked best, I've just included them both;-)

A broader view from further back on the deck:

Then, there were the spiders and their webs. The morning light was so good that it highlighted many of the webs on plants throughout the back gardens...

And lastly, as I finished my morning walk-around, I was fascinated by the steam rising from the wooden fence. We had had a heavy downpour the night before, and things were beginning to dry out as the temperature began to rise. Because the sunlight was streaming in, it really accentuated the typically unnoticed process happening along the fence...

What gifts have you discovered today? Until next time, happy Memorial Day to everyone. Please remember to give thanks for those who fought for our freedom and never came back to enjoy their own. Let us not forget them:-)
