Sunrise, Lambton County

The sun breaks over the horizon.

It’s good to be alive, to see such a spectacle.

Version 2

Heralding

Heralding the arrival of a new day, the approach of autumn, and the approach of migration, a flock of Canada Geese flies across my field of view.

Version 2

Dawn, country road

Peeks

The sun juuuuust peeks over the horizon on a warm late summer morning.

Mist

A laneway fades into the mist, as do the past and the future.

Sensitivities

Wagon loads of wheat straw await transport to the barn.

I was born and bred a city boy. Living in a small town in a large farming district has opened my eyes and sensitivities to the turn of the seasons, and to where my food comes from.

Version 2

Appreciate

As does this road end, so do all roads end.

It’s good to appreciate the journey, and the world you travel through.

Version 2

Accept it

This sunrise adds a not entirely welcome element of warmth to the day. I accept it instead of fighting or resenting it.

Version 2

Low

I crouched low to get this insects’ eye view of a soybean field.

Version 2

Cloaked

Sunrise – yes, sunrise – on a summer morning when cirrus clouds, and the sun, were largely cloaked by smoke from wild fires several hundred klicks away in Manitoba and northwest Ontario.
