Mara Moore, 16, of Loomis, Calif., sits beneath the overhead lighting laced throughout a maple tree in her backyard at 9:32 p.m. Wednesday, June 3, 2020.

An early riser, Moore finds the first hours of the day a time in which he may take pleasure in what he calls, “the subtle glory of coffee”, before the beckoning calls of his family and office bring him back to reality.

Madalyn Moore, 17, of Loomis, Calif., sits alongside her Easton hitting net at 7:10 p.m. Wednesday, June 3, 2020. A rising star in the world of fast-pitch softball, Moore committed to play the sport at Clemson University September of her junior year and planned to use her time until college to further hone her skills. These plans were unfortunately upended a month later, however, when Moore tore her ACL and meniscus during a complicated play at third base, ultimately requiring an invasive surgery that left her with the scar that can be seen on her left knee. Now a rising senior, Moore is slowly beginning to reaccustom herself to the game, hoping her nine months of recovery will not prevent her from excelling at what she loves most.

Dave Moore, 58, of Loomis, Calif., stands underneath his expertly decorated trellace in front of his home at 6:46 a.m. Thursday, June 4, 2020.

Now a working husband and father of three, Moore treasures the time he gets to pamper his vegetables, water his hydrangeas, and bask in the beauty of what he has created.
