A serene and very early Saturday morning.
The sky has become an Impressionist painting,
Lovingly smudged in lilac and pink.
Fog turns dawn into a painting by Monet
And out of its misty hills
The trees that hint of the autumn to come
Float as if in heaven.
(All photos completely unedited because sometimes you just can’t improve on Nature.)

Ooooh. That is so beautiful. And I find it fascinating that Monet has affected the way so many people look at things – in Antarctica I saw a version of his waterlilies executed in ice. Such a shame he couldn’t know the far reaching impact he would have.

If I didn’t know it was real, I’d think you made it all up, Fi! There is that line again – between the lake and the trees – perhaps the mist makes it. Separating what is on land from the watery reflection. I love the way it does that.
