Great capture Leslie, the golden hour, one of my favorite times for photos. About the first hour of light after sunrise, to the last hour of light before sunset. The exact length varies somewhat during the seasons. With the sun low in the sky, it creates a soft diffused light which is more pleasing than the strong and harsh light created by the midday sun.
