It is the time of day when everything becomes soft. The formerly blazing sun transforms into a warm blanket of light. Delicate mayflies swarm over the round rocks and ripples of the river. The sun continues its descent has the moon, a sliver of a crescent, dutifully follows. Kingbirds and Cedar Waxwings slice through the calm invisible ether. Sound dampens to just the low flowing utterances of the river.

Soft sunlight upon the cottonwoods

The time of day when everything becomes soft

The last vestiges of the day
