Dark Light Trio #3

Individual Measurements:

We recently moved from the middle of town to the land of my husband’s childhood.  Our home is surrounded by beautiful woods - green, vibrant and filled with life.  About a hundred feet from our back door is a game cam strapped to a tree.  At midnight in the woods, it captures ghostly figures of deer and coyotes, bunnies and skunks, armadillos and those who would chase them.

As I sit on our back porch, watching as dusk gathers and darkness descends, I listen to these new to me voices of nature.  Was that a coyote or a cicada?  Or perhaps a fairy… 

Outside my studio window is a stately white oak estimated to be 400 years old. I imagine the woodland folk who have gathered at midnight to dance at its roots since the time of Shakespeare, and the magic and mischief they must create.

Please note that due to everyone’s monitor displaying differently, the colors you see may vary.
