    Watching and Waiting

    Watching and Waiting

    Morning light,
    Soft light,
    It’s colored light
    But isn’t bright.,
    I wait and watch,
    Then slowly I let my film soak up this light.

    Steve Coleman

    I prefer to be early, get setup and watch and wait for the morning sunrise rather than being in a hurry. Relaxed, I sat on a small boulder and nibbled on some grapes. Soon the sky began to lighten, the horizon began to appear, the sky and clouds took on a different hue, the birds sang a morning song, a rooster crowed on the farm just below me and dragonflies zipped past me. I think it’s worth getting up early. I’m standing near one of the three dams on the Horsetooth Reservoir and looking out over the sleeping city of Fort Collins. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
