Purple Rain

Description

I went back to the daffodil fields after work the other day. It was sunny all day, but by the time I got there in the late evening, the rain clouds were moving in. I waited around until almost an hour after sunset, and the colors just intensified. I stood in the field...amazed at the beauty that laid out before me, like God's shag carpet. I could smell the rain in the air...

Beautiful photo, eye-catching even in the thumbnail. Just saw this in Editor's Picks and had to open it. It's even lovelier when it fills the screen and your description is wonderful, too. "like God's shag carpet" -- love it and it really is like looking at a carpet of flowers and leaves. Nice POV #4146722
