The street light now rests in daylight, it’s nightly duty done. The sun has taken command of the day, streaming its light through the morning mist which will soon fade from view, but not from the memory. #sunbeam #mist # morning #streetlight

An After Breakfast Still Life
After the breakfast dishes were cleared from the table I had a little free time before we went for our morning walk, so I did what I usually do. When we returned from the walk, this scene caught my eye. Typical. #ukulele #breakfast #morning #walk
Morning Mood
I love mornings, with the magic that it brings as the rising sun gives light and life to the day. #morning #risingsun #sunlight #rays
Upside Downy
We were nearly home from a morning walk when the rapid tap-tap-tap of a small woodpecker drew our eyes upward. A downy woodpecker dangled from a small, broken branch directly overhead as it pecked and dined on the larvae it found. Then it ascended slowly, spiraling around the vertical branch, stopping now and then toContinue reading “Upside Downy”
Year’s End Moon
A waning gibbous moon, well past full, shyly peered between branches on this late December morning. The next full moon will be in the new year, bold, bright, and high overhead, as it travels the path that the sun follows in summer. May it be a good year. #moon #newyear #december #oldmoon #morning
Seasonal Sunrise
Sunrays from below the horizon caressed the wintery clouds with color during a recent morning walk. It quickly faded from red to gold to yellow in a happily-hued transition from twilight to dawn. It seemed a fitting beginning to another day during the season when days are short but hopes are long. #sunrays #clouds #morningContinue reading “Seasonal Sunrise”

Perhaps it had a late night and needed a little rest before starting its day’s activities, or maybe it had been attracted to lights above the driveway that had been on earlier. Regardless, it was a pleasant surprise to startContinue reading “Fuzzy Little Friend”
Just Passing Through
Yesterday morning the Moon passed by Jupiter on its monthly trek around earth. This scene will repeat itself over the next several months as we head into fall and on towards winter. Before long, Venus will rise in the morning sky as well and provide the opportunity to see the three brightest planetary objects inContinue reading “Just Passing Through”
Morning Thunder
This morning we noticed threatening clouds in the distance with an occasional flash of lightning veiled behind the clouds. We walked anyway with eyes to the western horizon, warily watching the orange billows slowly enlarging as they approached. Then thunder could be heard gradually growing louder and louder, and streamers of rain could be seenContinue reading “Morning Thunder”
Morning Magic
These colorful plants were refreshed and nurtured by recent rains. The flat illumination honed their hues and delightfully decorated the morning landscape. #morning #garden
