A photo of sunset-burnished treetops showed up in my Facebook Memories today, and I wondered if I could find the original higher-resolution copy in my photo files. Which I did, in a folder from 11/29/15. In that same folder, I also found my photo of the nearly identical scene taken an hour or so earlier, before the lowering sun had set the gray leafless treetops afire with blazing color. Wow! What an amazing transformation!
A late-fall afternoon on the Hudson River, with West Mountain rising beyond the far bank. The scene was pleasant enough, but the leafless trees on this mid-river island look colorless in the late-afternoon light. But just wait to see how the setting sun sets them ablaze with vivid color!
I never know what surprising delights Mother Nature has in store for me. I'm so glad I preserved these moments in photos, and also that I filed these two photos in a way that allowed me to find them again.
