The head of this Davis Mountains' canyon showcases the reflected light of sunset in Far West Texas.
Usually, the colors are vivid and bold, but on this fall evening, twilight shimmered in softer shades, as if to blanket the high desert with the serene happiness you feel after a long, but good day draws to a close. Late summer and early fall are good times here, a gentle season for both wildlife and people who live in the wildness of this often harsh and unforgiving country. It reminds me that for everything, there is a season. 

And in this painting, this season is Joy.
