Morning


A morning walk after a rainy thundery night. This is about 6:00 in the morning. Choco thinks we need to start our walk earlier. Tetsu thinks we should start later (or not at all). I feel very blessed to be greeted with scenery like this just 5 minutes beyond my house and often think I couldn't have chosen a lovelier place to live.

The leaves are changing in my part of the world, the sun rises later and the mornings are getting colder. That's one reason Tetsu isn't so enthusiastic about getting out of the bed when the world is still a little grey. Each morning we look to the nearby mountains expecting to see snow but not quite yet. Winter is just around the corner!

"The grass withereth,
the flower fadeth;
but the word of our God shall stand for ever."
Isaiah 40:8

The old hymn "Morning Has Broken" came into my mind as soon as I saw your lovely photos, Tanya. It is 7:00 here Near Philadelphia, and still quite dark. And cold, too, unseasonably so. Thanks for this nice post.

Do they have daylight saving in Japan?

My husband and I walk each morning in the cold, just as dawn is breaking. It's the best time of day, I think. I do admit, though, that some mornings (especially cold ones)the warm and cozy bed is a great temptation. Your photography is beautiful, thanks for sharing your little corner of the world.
