You may have heard photographers talk about "the golden hour" - that time around sunset or sunrise when the light takes on a special quality. It is a matter of the color temperature (no, not the outside temperature) when the light has a warmer, softer cast to it. It is generally a flattering light for portraits. It doesn't really last "an hour," and depends on atmospheric conditions, as well.
Photographers should understand how to control the light to get similar results at other times of the day. No, this isn't a critique about current popular photography. But, it is all about the light.
Yesterday at sunset...
This morning, just after sunrise, looking both ways in our canal...
Looking pretty in any light...
Doesn't hurt that it was taken during that "golden hour."
