Five minutes before and five minutes after I clicked the shutter to record this scene, it was dull and rather sombre. But for a few brief moments, the sun found a gap in the clouds and I was suddenly surrounded by dappled sunlight. It made me feel instantly happy and put a spring (pun intended!) in my step which lasted for the rest of my walk.
I am so fascinated by the light and shadows created in wooded areas. I notice these when driving home at night as the sun is lower and it is beautiful. I must be thinking cards this morning because you are the second person I am telling I could see this picture on a card inspiring someone to see the light at the end of the path.
