29 January - Early in the day

 


As I walked out the door into the morning, the beautiful colour made me walk faster in hopes of getting to a good spot for a photo before it all disappeared. I realized I wasn't going to make it and took a quick photo on the street. 


The light on the ponds changed visibly as I walked. I'll leave you to enjoy the photos of ducks landing in a blur, fine mosses, and sun through fog. 




I wrote for about an hour this morning, then ran errands. After all the rain, the air was invigorating, and oh, so unseasonably warm. A little cooking, a little laundry, a little sewing took up the rest of this fine day.

  1. Lorrie - I had the same experience this morning! I got up to a lovely sunrise, and stepped out onto the deck to take photos before it disappeared! And it didn't even feel cold ... And then, 2 minutes later, it was all obscured by mist!

    As for football, neither one of my teams made it ... sigh. But at least I achieved something with my stitching! Have a wonderful week, and thanks for visiting my blog!

  6. What a gorgeous sunrise, beautifully photographed, as always. I love ducks, and delight in your pictures of them swimming about. I had a very similar day: cooking, sewing, laundry...blogging!

  8. That first shot was certainly glorious, if only it had lasted for your whole trip to the pond. But the foggy shots have their own glory too and a little mystery with that beautiful lush lichens on the trees, or at least I'm assuming that's what I'm seeing. As always I'm impressed with the climate you have there. If only I were younger it would be top of my travel list.

  10. Hi Lorrie~ Oh my goodness, what a beautiful sunrise! It's been unseasonably warm here this year as well, it's supposed to be 47 degrees here today and 50 tomorrow. The pond looks gorgeous in the fog, and the ducks are so cute. I always enjoy your posts! Have a great week! Barb
