A Low Country Twilight

Twilight is my favorite time of day. Its peaceful colors invite a calmness of mind and a slowing of rhythms. For some, like the solitary Osprey seated on the branch, it signals the beginning of the hunt. I live near a little salt creek marshy area and pass this tree daily. It often has an Osprey in it, scanning the creek for fish. Sometimes she catches one and will sit on a branch, fish in talon, enjoying her meal. This particular humid late summer evening, I passed the tree as usual but was struck by its beauty, so much so I had to pull over and take a picture. Cars were going past, oblivious to the magical scene above them. This is Coastal Savannah at its best. I love it. It is home.

Bonne Nuit!
