I arrived to Piney Woods Church Road near sunset, after an evening thunderstorm. The lighting was marvelous; for a few minutes, the sun on its descent emerged from the clouds to shine a brilliant yellow-orange low in the sky.

An hour or so before sunset along Piney Woods Church Road, I took this photograph of clouds illumined by the late-day sunlight, with a loblolly pine tree in the foreground. How I wish the clouds would bring us some rain!

Sunset arrives on the prairie (or, in this case, the nearest prairie equivalent along Piney Woods Church Road: the edge of a cow pasture near a barbed-wire fence, giant fire ant mound, and drainage ditch).

On my way back toward Rico Road, my attention was caught by a couple of blades of grass in a recently planted future horse pasture along Piney Woods Church Road. One blade was curved above another, shorter one. I was entranced by their flowing forms in the golden light of one half-hour before sunset.
