5:30 I am waiting on the dawn to show
there you are you never disappoint
not once have you failed to show
even on cloudy days I know you are there
like the constant in my life you have become
I’ve grown accustom to your constance

I have never seen a Sapphire blue sunrise
till today the clouds lay thick like a clock
over the sun, it looks like a painting
a soft, beautiful, rendition of my heart
Sapphire blue like my mother’s eyes

This photo has not been edited the only thing I did was add my 2 cents! I wouldn’t change a thing in that this is what I saw this morning. I never know what the photo is going to look like I spend most of the 30 minutes looking at the Wildflowers! Somedays it looks like this, full of clouds and then when the sun illuminates the clouds that’s when I get excited. This is my passion sunrises and sunsets. I told you my Pa taught me all about the sun, how to use it as a compass if you are lost, when to look for a red sky, all that kind of stuff. I have never shared this, when my Pa passed he left me a little money, so I bought a camera so I could capture those moments that take my breath away. You see to me it’s not about taking fabulous photos, or outdoing someone, or trying to impress you, to me it’s about doing the thing that makes my heart sign, this is it.

Can you hear my heart sing?

When I first looked at this house and property I saw this view and I knew this was the place for me. My Pa used to stand here and look out towards the woods in the back and he would always say he spotted a dear, he also warned me that there was coyotes. He was a mountain man so he just knew those things. Today when I saw this and all the grass heavy with dew, I thought of his poem he wrote there is a line in it that goes….

Don’t take the sun away from me, take anything but the sun! I feel the same way! As long as I have this beautiful view to wake up and drink in the goodness of God everything is ok in my world. Have a blessed day!

half past dawn~quarter to nothing
waiting to feel~the joy that chases
me still, dare I stop~MichelleMarie
