Very delicate, very watercoloury, very English. You well describe well those still, early dawn moments, when it's still early dawn. But could you be a little more generous on pic size, please? That one deserves more space.
'Gloaming' I've only recently come to appreciate as a word, so put down for me because of that pub song.
"woman with a dog walked very softly over the green, heading for the marshes."
Very evocative!

thank you eric for your kind comments.
('roaming in the gloaming' is the song you are thinking about, I'd guess)A german equivalent to gloaming is 'Abendrot' (an R Strausss Lied translation uses 'gloaming' for 'Abendrot' - but I think gloaming is not at all what Abendrot is intended to convey - sunset means much more sense in an English translation)
sorry about the pics, had a try just now to make bigger, but don't know how to do that. will work on it when more time, as it is a lovely pic. (mobile phone camera is proably better fro lansdcape shots than the poor old fuji finepix.)

Arbentrot - evening red - sunset, whereas gloaming has much more the meaning - to me anyway - of after sunset, but not yet night - twilight - crèpuscule - entre chien et loup
You could try upping the pic size on the camera, maxi, fine or whatever. For next time.

I have always liked 'crepuscular' and there is a brand of coffee, I recall, available in the French supermarche called 'crepuscule'. But I think 'between dog and wolf' is rather better..I will try and work that in somewhere in future writings....(thank you)
