Misty beauty
Sunrise and it’s the autumn equinox:
The lake is still and beautiful
With rising mist in shades of pink.
The moon admires itself in the water –
Reflecting brightly like a silver penny.
(I’ve forgotten my big camera —
But as the saying goes, “The best camera is the one you have with you.”)

Ducks ahoy
It’s not often you get to enjoy
The Manhattan skyline with ducks (and a big cruise ship).
If you get up before the crack of dawn,
And drive to the New Jersey shoreline
(These shots are taken from Hoboken),
You may be lucky enough
To enjoy the gold of the rising sun
As ducks wheels in the sky
Over wooden pilings
Before honking farewell
As they fly away.

Into the lilac forever
It wouldn’t be summer
Without an excursion down to the lake
And a hot air balloon
Floating away over lilac
And purple.

Catch me a sunset
Enjoy the view.
Throw out the line
And catch a beautiful
Summer sunset.
(Lots of events planned over the next coming days, so I won’t be able
To visit your blogs. But thanks for your visit!)

Transformative
Mist has magical powers:
It can transform ordinary objects
(Here a crane on the jetty in Ericeira, Portugal)
Into classic suspense movie shots.
It turns a sunrise
Into a moment of purple-tinged drama —
And if it lingers all day,
A misty sunset can turn
Landscapes into paintings.

Strawberry surprise
The jetty in my old neighbourhood
Is still as delightfully wonky as ever.
And the world looks deliciously
Enchanting with the rising sun.

Golden goldens
It was a gorgeous evening
When I went out for a walk with the dogs.
The summer light
Drizzled over grass and dogs alike
Lighting up the fields
With its honeyed glow
So that there was gold
Both in the sky
And in the grass.

Summer swan
Life is busy with deadlines, work
And enjoying the beauty of summer,
So I won’t be able to visit your blogs this week.
Green was the silence, wet was the light,
the month of June trembled like a butterfly….

Dawn’s blush
Have you ever wondered what a large city
Looks like before the sun is up?
I arrived at Hoboken Park at 5 in the morning
During my visit to New York
To bring you the answer:
The blush of dawn
Makes everything look beautiful.
(That’s the George Washington Bridge you can see.)

Delicious fog
A few weeks ago, I was out on a long walk.
It was eerily misty in the woods.
Suddenly, the sun broke through
Transforming everything into
Golden strips of light —
As if greeting the early morning
With a hallelujah.
