Soulful Musings & Thoughts About Painting

Summer Glow: McNary Wetlands

By day, this wetland is dramatic--
when a variety of waterfowl fill the marshy edges. 
As the sun sets and the night comes, 
it takes on a magical quality. 
A night of almost complete stillness, 
with just a soft rustling from the gentle breeze 

as it passes through the tall grasses. 
Bird calls echo quietly 

the night's beacon rises above the far horizon. 
I was embraced by this feeling of solitude, 
yet completely enfolded by the lovely night.
