lost in the sunlight


Are we given dusk to see what would be lost in brilliant sunlight? Do the smudgy, darker days of our lives sometimes have a greater clarity than those full of sun? Or, is it that the gloaming slows us for night?  Night followed by dawn. And, then it all repeats in a slightly different variation. Life, I guess.  (However, I did get a chance to use “gloaming”…which was the word that came to me when I took the picture.)

  1. Now, I want to use "gloaming" too! Not quite gloaming yet here in the mountains - but soon...

    1. It is yours to use....seems kind of Scottish Highlands to me....so, it should fit right up there in the Rockies!

  2. Ah, the cycles of our days. What a great word for twilight or dusk and the slow moving into night "gloaming slows us for night." Beautiful.

    We are "gloaming" toward night as we speak. The clouds of an impending monsoon storm is hastening the movement toward darkness.

    1. I am glad we are all having fun with "gloaming". Not sure that I could get away with this.....so, very happy about your comment. Wow, thinking of the monsoon storm moving over your desert is powerful. What an image!
