November Twilight

By the time November rolls around in the Northland the colorful leaves are on the ground and daylight hours are dull gray until the snow comes. Evenings are long and it seems that all of the colors missing from the daylight hours have been pushed to the edge of night. There is a special time of day, just after sunset, when the peak of beauty is displayed.


This picture was taken out my front door on Caribou lake, just as a sawtooth shaped deck of clouds drifted across the crescent moon. As I watched the light fade into darkness a wolf pack started howling a chorus from a distant ridge as if to give their approval to the beauty of the evening.

Ask the beasts, and let them teach you; and the birds of the heavens, and let them tell you. Or speak to the earth, and let it teach you; and let the fish of the sea declare to you. Who among all these does not know that the hand of the LORD has done this? Job 12:7-9
