So wonderful. The crepuscular rays puts this one over the top! Wonderful!

It really was marvelous light which, I'm sure you've experienced yourself, lasted but a few minutes. Thank you, Maggie, for your gracious comments (but I will have to look up the word "crepuscular" - what a beauty that one). - Mike

Thank you, Connie, for your gracious thought. As I said in my profile, sometimes I'm there on time and sometimes I'm not or just a few minutes too slow. This time, thankfully, it worked out; the light was there but for only a brief time. - Mike
