The Golden Hour in the Everglades and Big Cypress
- Great Egret Crossing Loop Road
Come gentle light
Soothe edges harsh
Soften glare white bright
Dim shadow dark and stark
With your velvet touch
Whisper golden sifting glow
Messages of rest and peace
Touch field and tree
Let your genial hand
Wash over me
Usher in the Golden Hour
Toast with fuchsia hues
Kiss each flower
Quiet deep thoughts
Warm my soul

Lovely images and verse. I especially like the sawgrass sunset and the last image with the heron is spectacular.
Thank you for a very soothing visit.
Beautiful hues!
I get up early and I miss dinners to catch this special time of day. The last one with the heron is especially stunning. All are lovely.
Wow, these are spectacular! I especially love the first and last photos. I can see why this is called the Golden Hour!
So beautiful!!
I wish I lived nearer the water. Such beautiful scenery and wildlife. Thanks for always commenting on my blog. 🙂
Thank you all so much for your compliments and your faithfulness in supporting this blog.
Light is among the most beautiful of God’s gifts and it appears in every corner of this planet.
It is cold up here in Maryland. Your photos are reminding that there is warmth out there. Lovely shots.
