Sun Angle

It's getting dark earlier now. This weekend we will adjust our clocks and align sunrise with our waking hours. I went walking yesterday in the late afternoon.  Over half the leaves seem to be down and we have gone below freezing for two mornings in a row now. Yes, shorter days and cold are here. I haven't been on the lake trail in a month so this was a happy re-walk.

The hornet's nest I watched since June has now fallen off the bush, bees gone, paper mache form opened up and the comb structure revealed. What struck me the most was seeing the sun illuminate the group of yellow leaf trees on the mountain. Mountains monitor two sides with their constant presence.

The sun's late afternoon narrow angle presented shade at the lake and bright yellow at the trees. Breath taking. I'm heading back today for a repeat performance.
