    I'm sure many of you, like me, enjoy a wander round the garden in the evening at dusk as the light is fading.
    The light at this time of day has a particular quality all of its own. Have you noticed how flowers in the yellow/orange/red part of the spectrum seem to stand out in the twilight, they seem to draw the eye, appearing to almost 'glow' in the crepuscular light.
    These pictures were taken in my garden yesterday evening at dusk. I simply set the camera on 'twilight', used a tripod and tried a few shots to see what came out.
    I haven't modified or adjusted them in any way, they are 'as taken'.
    Any comments welcome.

      Looks a lovely time to be in your garden... I like to try different light to see how things turn out, especially flowers...
