In my moment this morning

I stood at the sink noticing the low light from the sun coming in my back window. I stood there for several minutes watching the light reflect off the water and the bubbles form on my hands. My senses awake to the feel of the water, space opened and awareness took hold. I am missing my meditation and yoga time these last couple months so brief as it may be these days, a moment of clarity feels like a great gift.

Hoping to find a dragonfly this morning to shoot for a friend I found these jewels.

In and Out the Window

Storm Blankets

Just above the beanstalks perched the cotton candy clouds- stark naked between the dark blankets

Taken looking into town, an almost perfectly straight line lay atop Chatham

Rising Moon

 On my way home last night I noticed the large full moon just up over the horizon. So very large and powerful looking. It took me a good 20 minutes to get home, the whole time, watching the moon rise and seemingly shrink in size as I drove. I took my camera out to the back deck to take this first cloudless shot. I took several in order to get one semi sharp shot. Then I sat and watched as the clouds blew in and felt compelled to take the last shot here. The top shot, perhaps a preview of the moon, taken earlier that day in the backyard among the prairie plants.

Yesterday's Rain

 Out my west facing window I can see approaching storm clouds, an advantage to prairie living. After this late afternoon storm filled with wonderful dark puffs, a piece of the sun appeared briefly like a wink before bed. My camera already on the tripod I snapped a couple shots.
