Sunbeams and Shadows
The rising sun shone brightly through the decorated window above the door and cast shadows on the adjacent wall; another brief but bright memory. #morning #sunbeam #shadows
Ruby Tuesday
The rising sun again painted the sky red but just for the briefest moments. The colors soon faded away, to be missed until their ethereal return at the start of another new day. It made me think of the chorus of the song “Ruby Tuesday” by the Rolling Stones. “Goodbye, Ruby TuesdayWho could hang aContinue reading “Ruby Tuesday”
Morning Moment
The cold mornings are past and warm days are here. Now we walk in the cool before dawn instead of after breakfast. The sights as well as the sounds of awakening birds make it more than worth the effort. #morning #moment #dawn #awakening #birdsongs

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”
