Northwest Light at Sunset

In the late afternoon, every day, we get this lovely light that hits across the front of our house and yard, not in the back, just in the front. It's really magical; I never tire of it. I often try to capture it in a photo - these pics are my latest attempt; taken yesterday.

Because of this lovely light, we often find ourselves taking portrait snaps in the front, either outside or in the library - it's flattering and just really pretty. It's the best time to take pictures, but you have to be quick, and prepared. It comes rather suddenly and is fleeting, only lasting moments.
