the magic hour
"The Magic Hour," described as "a visual look at nature in the last rays of sunlight," and filmed in southwest Montana and Yellowstone National Park ...
The film, which I truly recommend watching in HD by clicking on the video or this link, was majestically shot and edited Ray Paunovich of Wild Planet Films, with music by James Newton Howard. Paunovich has other wildlife video posted at Vimeo, which I look forward to viewing.
-------------------------------------------------------------
He makes springs pour water into the ravines; it flows between the mountains. They give water to all the beasts of the field; the wild donkeys quench their thirst. The birds of the air nest by the waters; they sing among the branches. ...
He makes grass grow for the cattle ... The trees of the LORD are well watered, the cedars of Lebanon that he planted. There the birds make their nests; the stork has its home in the pine trees. The high mountains belong to the wild goats; the crags are a refuge for the coneys.
How many are your works, O LORD! In wisdom you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures. (Psalm 104: 10-24)
