The late afternoon lighting was just right to see through the wooded area along the stream and into the next door neighbor’s backyard. Because of the way that the light normally falls, being able to see into that yard was a rare happening… Not an exciting view, but at least, something not the same old/same old.

If it wasn't for this Stay-at-Home situation, I might not have noticed.
