morning light…

“Oh! that my soul had winged its flight,
When first I saw the morning light,
To worlds of liberty!”

George Moses Horton, slave/self taught/poet

“The sun just touched the morning;
The morning, happy thing,
Supposed that he had come to dwell,
And life would be all spring.”

Full Bloom In The Morning Light

“The Beauty Of A Woman”

The beauty of a woman Is not in the clothes she wears,
The figure that she carries, Or the way she combs her hair.

The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes,
Because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.

The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole,
But true beauty in a woman Is reflected in her soul.

It is the caring that she lovingly gives,
The passion that she shows,
And the beauty of a woman
With passing years only grows.

Audrey Hepburn

Joy

“Tears of joy are like the summer rain drops pierced by a sunbeam.” Hosea Ballou

Morning Light: Second Try

“The advantage of a bad memory is that one enjoys several times the same good things for the first time.” Friedrich Nietzsche

I was up early this morning. The street lights still on, a faint hint of light to the East. Hmm? I thought. I am going to take photos at first light of that new batch of roses out in the garden. No harsh high noon light. The time arrived. The street lights were off and the new day was creeping forward from the horizon. I took the best photos. I was so pleased.

Then it dawned upon me. Had I put the card back in the camera. I checked. Hell no! I mumbled self abusive phrases as I entered the house to grab the card. This is not the first time I have done this. I put the card into the camera and ventured off for a second time into the garden. The light brighter, the chill still in the air, the neighborhood quiet save a crow in the distance. For a second time, I moved from rose to rose and enjoyed the second pass through the garden.
