Ah- Twilight or Dusk as some call it. That wonderful in-between time when the sun has just set behind the hills but you can still see enough to dream. Here in Northern California we are just entering late summer into fall (another in-between time) and the sunsets are amber in hue and long golden shadows spread over the landscape. Definately my favorite "Time of Day" and season to boot! I made this digital collage for Mixed Media Monday and it represents twilight in my garden- where I am often visited by Barn Owls (some that I rehabilitated and released when I worked at Wildcare) and others looking to nest (I still have a nest box on my property). Twilight is a magical time for rest , reflection and connecting to the darkening world around us!

Your colors are delicious, Lori, and your journaling is so descriptive I feel as if I'm there! When I was a child, an owl lived in the old elm just outside my window and I loved to fall asleep listening to his gentle who-who's. I hadn't thought of him in a long time, until now. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI love the evening colors too..they are so pretty and it's a nice relaxing time of day as well. You have a great owl!
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful! Your collage is wonderful, Lori. I love the colours you have chosen. They "pop"! Great work.
ReplyDeleteThese witchy colors are perfect for your twilight theme. I agree that dusk is the lovliest time of day, and I'm totally fascinated by the idea of rehabilitating barn owls. In fact, I'm going to the Internet now to learn more!

This is a beautiful piece, Lori! And I like the write up. It's that same in between time here in CT. How wonderful that you have Barn Owls in your yard (and that you rehabilitated them)! Twilight is a nice time.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful, Lori. There's a bit of an Asian feel to your design. Very elegant!
ReplyDeleteI wish I had an owl! I'll trade you 20 chipmunks for one owl! :]
