The glow seemed to vibrate the entire scene.

Planted
Where driftwood meets beach and sea. Imagine the power to move.

Like an echo, the glow vibrated the entire scene.

Sunriver
A cold morning walk before taking off for home. Though the light was fairly flat, the scenery lit up. Got back just before it started to snow.
