Sunset, Trout Lillies

I'm so glad I skipped going to the gym after work last night in favor of heading home for a sunset hike in the woods.

As I knelt in the dry leaves taking photos, a pair of ravens that had been sitting quietly in the branches of a nearby tree flew up, frightening me at first with the sudden whooshing of their great black wings.

I'm sure that the gentle peace of the woods (after the ravens had flown away) and the sunset beauty of the lilies did more for you than the gym could could ever have done at this particular time.

What stunning photos! You are such a talented photographer - both for the subject and how you are able to execute the photo. Beautiful.

Those flowers in the fading light are both gentle and stunning.
