Early Morning Sun

I don’t know why I got up so early. I didn’t have to drive anyone anywhere.
I don’t know why I looked out the window to the back corner where the tire swing hung instead of getting a cup of coffee and sitting at the table.
I don’t know why I picked up my camera and stumbled out into the cold fog and walked across all that wet dew, soaking my shoes.
But when I got there, I knew why I was there. Some places are like that. You have to get there first, and then you know.

The day is still damp with dew. I will not disturb this morning tire swing.

Red Vine

From the kitchen window, the neighbor’s field was lit with sunset yellow past my shady backyard. I walked to the back of the property to get a better picture of the shade-framed yellows and found that the view wasn’t as nice as from my kitchen window. I looked up to discover the sun lit up one spot in the dark corner – a red vine twined around the old tree, aglow in the sunset. If I had stayed in my kitchen, I never would have seen the flame.
