Enchanting Photo

Just thought I'd share this with you.  I was on my way up the back steps earlier right before dusk when I turned around for some reason, and looked over the fence to my mother and father-in-law's former home.  There stood this birdhouse in the perfect setting beckoning me to take a photo.  I took a shot from the deck, but that didn't seem like it was quite close enough.  I don't know;  something just wasn't right.  I walked next door to get a closer shot.  By now, dusk was in its final stage;  I put the camera on a special low-light setting, and this is what I got.  My father-in-law built this lovely birdhouse.  When I snapped the photo, I thought about painting the scene with watercolors in the future.  To my surprise, the photo turned out like a watercolor.  I'm not sure how I did it.  It may have been the low-light setting, or my hands may have been a little shaky.  Personally, I think something special was going on out there tonight.  Has anyone had a similar experience in the world of photography?
