The Light Lingered
”...Pearl set forth, at a great pace, and, as Hester smiled to perceive, did actually catch the sunshine, and stood laughing in the midst of it, all brightened by its splendor, and scintillating with the vivacity excited by rapid motion. The light lingered about the lonely child, as if glad of such a playmate, until her mother had drawn almost nigh enough to step into the magic circle too” (Nathaniel Hawthorne, The Scarlet Letter, p. 208).

Mary Ann, this is a really fantastic snapshot… and i LOVE the quote you used with it. This is magical.
Mary Ann Reilly replied
I read The Scarlet Letter so many years ago and have never forgotten the scene in the forest. For years I have been looking for the way the light cut throught he trees. Found a bit of it yesterday,

Hi Mary, this is just perfect like all your lovely work! I feel if you haven’t done so already? You should enter some of your work in the Digital Camera competition and do it quickly before the dedline tomorrow. I am sure you will receive lots of votes. Mine is just a poor attempt in having a go but its nothing in comparrison to your work :-))
Mary Ann Reilly replied
Sylvia, thanks so much. I will check it out.

it was a compelling force: stopped my car at the side of the road. I actually left the motor running and walked into the woods to be closer to the sunlight. Thanks for commetning, Nels.
