...morning splendor...

life is a pure flame,
and we live by an invisible sun within us.
-- Thomas Browne
colored scents
that fill the air
as drowsy insects hum
around in the meadow
is the place of secret magic
where nature alone renews itself.
-- Kate Bergquist
the coffee is brewing.
i step out on
the back deck
to wait for it.
this is my lovely shadow
presentation for the morning.
saturday.
coffee.
sunshine.
shadows.
breath in.
breath out.
splendid start
to this weekend.
**********************
light + objects= shadows

what kind of morning were you greeted with?
just BE.

Crisp, clear shadows on your deck. Hope you had your coffee out there and enjoyed the verdant summer morning.

You show us the beautiful day to be as the early morning sun and shadow beckon. A day like this is to savor what good and beautiful ahead, the style and grace of the early AM beauty as the coffee brews. So nice!

Happy SSS & 4th of July in advance.

Girl, wasn't it the most glorious morning this AM, I had another shot all planned for SSS, but the sunrise on the Susans' had other plans for me.

Your deck is as quiet and comforting as mine in the wee hours, it just beckons a traveler to retreat...it's the simple things, right...thanks for the Java!

Hey Tilda...don't ya just love the feel of the cool morning bluegrass under foot, there's just sumthin' screamin' summer about it, don't seem natural to wear shoes this time o year!

Happy 4th girls!

Hey Harriet said...

That is a perfect start to the weekend. Your back deck looks like the kind of spot I could spend a lot of time on! A pot of freshly brewed coffee and a fave book & I'd not likely move from there for hours. What bliss! Enjoy the rest of your splendid weekend Robin :)
