Caught in the glow

I took this shot because of the sunlight falling on the ground and trees. I never tire of such sights, all the more pronounced when they come as a wonderful surprise. I walked around enjoying the moment; my soul aglow. 

In the back of mind was a recurring thought: Make the most of this. It was late October. The leaves were turning. This sunshine was unusual. It felt like something extraordinary was happening.
