… makes for the start of a good day. Even with a head cold and hacking cough I rose early yesterday and headed out to the Arapahoe Bend Nature area to greet the morning sun. I find the quiet and beauty in nature to be a healer for what ails me. I was still coughing and hacking when I got back to my condo but sure felt better.
When asking yesterday what light people enjoyed, Paul mentioned morning and evening light. I agree and when you look back over my archives there are plenty of sunrise and sunsets shots to choose from. Being a morning person and enjoying time in nature also draws me to this time of the day. Many people are just getting up or on their way to the cubicle so not many people or traffic to deal with either. I setup my camera and tripod then took a sip of my hot chocolate when these two Canada Geese make their way into my scene. I smiled, took the images I wanted and thanked them. (Yes, I talk to birds.)
So, the snow started yesterday and as of this morning we have about 4 inches. Have a Super Saturday!

Very tranquil image Monte. I am impressed you still went out feeling the way you did. Hopefully nature’s medicine has you on the road to recovery.

I think it’s more of a psychological healing than anything else. Getting out is healing. Walking is healing. And, as you say, tranquil.

Beautiful. The geese silhouettes really make it. Perfect timing and composition on your part. I love how they’re facing each other, like they’re having their own morning chat (without coffee or cocoa) 🙂

Thanks, Jim. It was just a good time to experience. Nature at its best. We just have to be there to enjoy it.
