Woke up this morning at 4:15. After making a pot of coffee and checking email, I noticed out of the corner of my eye, the sun making it's debut. They say "red sky in the morn, sailor be warned." It is one of those mornings. I sat in awe as the sun lit up the clouds with bright red rays, and thought I should go out to the car and get my camera and take some photos, but... I was too lazy.
The rays were getting brighter and brighter and I couldn't turn away. Hurrying, I put my boots on, thinking I've missed a great opportunity. I got the camera out of the car and headed up the back hill. Of course, by this time most of the red had disappeared, a reminder that minutes truly count. The sun was rising above the clouds. The smell of the cool morning air is so invigorating. I headed up over the hill and into the pasture. The morning dew on the hay field was seeping through my sweat pants up over my knees, and felt really cold on my legs but I didn't mind. It's all part of the big picture and I just breathe it all in, and thank the powers that be, for allowing me to be "in the moment."
As I turned to head back to the house, I noticed the neighbors out in their garden, enjoying the predawn air, coffee in hand. I'm not the only early riser!
It is the start of a great day!
These are beautiful!! I heard that's the best time to go out and take pictures. Maybe someday I'll wake up that early...lol!!
