Day 15 – 365 Days of Photography

1-15-2014

I woke up at 5:15am.  This is my customary rising time.  As I lay on the bed always wishing that I could sleep just a few minutes longer, I thought of again going out onto my front veranda.  I pondered how would I get breakfast ready quick enough to enable my children to be on time for school.  How would I catch the sun while it was still below the roof tops, but yet showing light in the sky.  I decided that this would be a good banana, peanut, almond milk smoothie morning, a favorite amongst my children.  I raced out to the yard, and looked across my neighborhood eastward and saw just what I wanted, and decided to capture it from there.

As I sat writing this my mind thought in rhyme.

As I awoke in the early morn,

I lay in my bed and stretched

Thinking about the day with a yawn

Of plans that had not yet been etched

I wanted to lay in bed longer

But alas the night has gone

And morning has come for me to ponder

How to capture this early dawn

So I set out with tripod and camera

Out into the yard below

Still doning nothing but my pajama

What an image I want to show

I set up everything in its place

Set the settings for a capture

No sun don’t yet show your full face

I have a plan of pure ‘snapture’

I chuckled at what I saw

Pleasure filled my heart

For in the sky an image so pure

Now to share I must impart

Natural wonders and splendors

Heavenly grace and beauty

Whether foliage, wildlife, scenes or fauna

It’s right there for all to see
