Normally this young tree is lost against a busy, busy background of trees, bush, fields. A very foggy morning gives it the opportunity to be the focus of attention.

A late fall morning begins gently, softly, peacefully, beautifully.


The sun bursts above the horizon, illuminating a new day. Glorious scenes like this reinforce my gladness for being alive, being able to live, witness and share.

Sunlight glinting off mid-level clouds adds cheerful colour to a morning.

I reviewed some of my photos with Faye. She suggested that I revisit this tree and capture it through the seasons. A wonderful idea. So, a Fall portrait.

I have loved stopping during my morning commute to drink in, absorb, photograph, and share the amazing vistas I’ve been blessed to see. I’ve not shared those morning views for some time and there is a good reason. For over a month I’ve commuted to work in the dark. It’s still a restful contemplative time for me. Unfortunately there isn’t much to see and share. Once at work I cannot stop to see, to share.
Reverting to Daylight Standard Time this weekend may bring a little light back to my commute, to my posts. For this post, here’s a view from early August.
Sometimes the most restful and contemplative views are within us, if we can look within.
