During certain times of the day - usually early morning and later in the afternoon - the rays of the low-hung, yet strong sun will cast deep shadows from solid objects like trees but will brightly fill things softer and more transparent. Sometimes referred to as backlighting, you need to be facing the sun to really see this picture show. There are long shadows from the dense forms of life and their own appearances as mysterious silhouettes in the midst of light-filled plants and leaves. A golden, highlighted weed or blade of grass will standout in the backdrop of these black silhouettes and shadows.

This intense type of backlighting only lasts for a few moments. It's as if nature says, "Look at me! Now, quickly!"

When I glimpse it, what I see is about what I feel.
