Two for one

There are some days I just CAN"T get enough of. This is one. After the sun rose this morning, the day seemed far too special not to go to The Narrows just to see “what’s up.”
Up was an Eastern Song Sparrow checking us out, curious horses coming to see us, sheep eyeing us,

old tractors looking good in the sun, bales of hay rounded up, maples by cedar rails, monarchs on dandelions, geraniums at the Narrows, dabbling female mallards, ring billed gulls and cruisers headed south. Beauty so much beauty. Soon I MUST attend to the garden.

Sunrise

At lakeshore before the break of day, after the first birdsong falls silent and before the geese natter again. That is the time. The perfect moments when nothing is rushed and all is hushed as the light spreads colour, and you can be nowhere else but there.
