My favorite light is just before twilight (or just after sunrise, but let’s face it, I never see that time of day on purpose), when there is enough natural light that flash is unnecessary, and everything has a bit of a blue cast. I took this on Saturday at twilight, right before a huge storm blew in. I went barefoot into my yard, with no idea what I was going to take a photo of but knowing I had to find something because the light was so perfect and purple and eerie.
And then I found this trio, and this photo makes my heart sing. The blur of the background, the sliver of pink, the buds that look like they will burst. It’s one of my new favorites.
