Day's end glow
Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona
 


Webs of golden light
stretch across the desert sands—
shadows are their prey.

    The tree loks as if it is bowing to the desert floor – the shadows falling all about as it waves its arm like branches. Beauty to be hold and honor…

    When I think of the desert, I think of a barren landscape. This picture certainly disproves that theory. What a pretty place, and I bet at sunrise and sunset it is especially beautiful. Lovely picture. genie

    The ground looks wet from rain (I forgot what rain is like!). Or, perhaps it’s just an optical illusion. At any rate, love the quality of light and the subject matter!

    Do shadow spiders
    Weave webs in golden sand, then
    Scurry from the light?

    I grow up in a coastal area of the Phils and this type of scenery is pretty much what I see in there, makes me nostalgic.

    Playful Shadows
    Have a great week ahead!
