The neighbourhood at twilight

New leaves against the twilight sky

Update: ha ha, whoops, I used the wrong word. It was­n’t twi­light, because the sun was still above the hori­zon. I sup­pose it was more like evening’s gold­en hour.

I’m leav­ing the title, though, and the URL. So it goes.

I grabbed my cam­era and went for a short walk just as the sun was going down.

Evergreen lit by the sunset
Buds on a shrub
A cloud in the twilight sky
A running rabbit
A silver sphere in a small garden

Twilight at Spruces

Posted on by Patrick
Twilight at Spruces in Riding Mountain National Park

My friend Tim is camp­ing up at Wasagam­ing in Rid­ing Moun­tain. I went to vis­it him last night, and before I came home we went to Spruces to check out the twi­light. (We’d planned to check out the sun­set but we got to talk­ing, and time got away from us a lit­tle bit. So it goes.)

Some tall, leaning spruces

Some love­ly cre­pus­cu­lar light there.

We saw a wolf, too, trot­ting down the high­way, but I did­n’t get a pho­to of him.
