Sunday, August 22, 2010

























































































































































the sun is barely up on this sunday morning. it makes for a different kind of light, behind my lens. i am enjoying this moment, before anyone else is awake. pleased with a moment, where i don't have to think about anything in particular, where the biggest decision is~ slipping back under the covers or making coffee. but my mind drifts to poetry, poetry of the birds splashing in a puddle, from the rain that was delivered the night before, poetry of the beautiful words written about roses or forgiveness.
happy sunday, my friends.
ps: thank you SO very much, for the etsy love. one of my photos, was even chosen to be part of a treasury. beaming!
won't you please leave a light on for me? i will be around to visit later today.  : )

i love mornings where no decisions have to made.....

was it as foggy and misty at your house this morning as it was mine ?

ps....my word verification is "chippes" and i think that's a much way to spell chips, as in potato chips and i think if they were spelled that pretty, i wouldn't feel so bad when i eat the whole bag :)
