Sunset Shadows

Often when you are driving around the backroads of Door County, a scene will flash at you out of the corner of your eye and you’ll say “Wow” is that nice. And then because you have to stay on the road, it will be gone and may be hard to find again. What sticks in my mind are the rich, dark shadows that happen at a certain time of day. Mother Nature hands us drama on a platter every day if we can only stay aware of this precious gift and pause to enjoy it, if only for a minute. I was lucky enough to find this quiet little lane a second time. I pulled over and took the time to walk through the tall grass, smell the flowers, looked down the overgrown path, and wonder for a minute what was just beyond that tall Spruce. I moved on with a smile and thought, maybe I’ll come back one day and see.
