These photos were taken at the much-vaunted “golden hour” of photography – when the sun is low and casts a warm glow over everything. How many times have I walked by these gems without noticing them, hidden in plain sight because of their ordinariness? We live in a culture that extols the extraordinary and reveres the radical. And all the while we live right in the midst of the most exquisite simplicities exuding a quiet radiance.
It’s true about people, too. What would we see in others if we could put a golden-hour filter over our eyes? Those quiet ones, hidden in plain sight, ordinary… Perhaps we would find beauty where we least expect it, but where it has always been. The image of God.
I’ll probably delete this in the morning when the sun is creeping over the horizon, casting a lovely glow o’er the world.

i like that idea of seeing others in their best light, under favorable filters. Another fine “muse-o-day”!
