Last Chorus

June 26, 2022

Horses graze as the sun sets behind old Cottonwood trees along Overland Trail

I watch the sun set behind cottonwood trees while
the blue sky opens to the coming darkness of night.
The long shadows of the sun stretch over the pasture
as my feathered friends sing their last chorus of the day.
I’m filled with gratitude as this day comes to an end
full of hope for the new day tomorrow.

I love that line of trees, like spectators anticipating the sunset and the impending nightfall.

  I drive by this scene all the time and have stopped for photos many times. I probably will again, alos. Thanks, Tom and hope you are having a great weekend. I need to read your post to find out where you two will be heading next.
