I wake up early these days to catch a few uninterrrupted minutes. So much happens in these moments as I examine the swirls rising from my tea, the sun bursting forth through the clouds and the light permeating every crevice on earth, dew drops glistening off the blades of grass, a blue jay fluffing itself and the sound of quiet…
Just the other day…
I saw the sun rise
and promise a new day
like it always does
Just the other day…
I spotted some flowers
simple and fragile
miniscule clusters in white
Just the other day…
I saw a pair of geese
carefree, sauntering
under the February sun
Hit the trail this morning and look what I found😀…blue sky, sun peeking out from behind the tall trees, pretty little weed flowers and a white hibiscus!!💕 What more inspiration does one need to step out under the wide open sky!!
I have been watching these blossoms for the last few days on my walks, but did not think much of them until this morning when I zoomed into them and boy, what a difference it made!
Each little blossom was a beauty and the morning light simply heightened its glory. There were some in reds too, but these fragile pink ones took my breath away!!
The first blossoms on the Bradford Pear trees are already here singing the song of spring! There’s something magical about walking on the white blossom lined sidewalks these days – the heady, invigorating sense of the advent of spring and a ‘newness’ in the air. Sometimes the March wind comes and blows away the blossoms as they disengage themselves from the branches and fly – just like snowflakes on a snowy day, leaving behind the bright green leaves – the true beginnings of spring.
The sun was up and it was 17 degrees outside….brrrr. But I was not going to pass up such a brilliant morning just because! So I am glad I bundled up and braved the cold to bring you this pretty picture that sings Happy New Year!
I thought this would make an appropriate title for my very first blog post here! This has turned into a favorite thing for me to do first thing in the wee hours of the day – to peer at the sky, to breathe in the colors and capture an image or two.
