morning time


it was morning time.  i plucked my pearl earrings out of their hiding place, slid them into my ears and pulled on a dress. i creaked open front door it swung behind me. everything outside was nested in shards of light and tangled with wild-flowers   i ran, weaving myself like a ribbon endlessly twirling through the pale-golden morning sunlight.  trees of brilliant hues dotted the countryside -- auburns and mahoganies, deep browns, reds and yellows adorned branches; streams slipped, emerged and penetrated through and under foliage while the sun quivered and slanted across the earth. i reached my destination.  i pulled a strand a hair behind my ear and slid in-between two trees (my favourite spot) and slipped my journal out of my bag; i clasped it for a moment or two before i started writing and breathed the dew and sunshine and flushed air and sun. (a small piece of my writings inspired by morning-time.)

morning time is my favourite time; is it yours, too?

  10. Definitly! Especially in the summer, when everything is already up at 7 and you can just slip outside to join them.
    Everything is fresh and new; love it.
    I LOVE the fourth picture! It's almost beyond words. It's pretty, reminds me of all the mornings I've spent as a girl with my (older) siblings, and also makes me want to go jump in a mud puddle. =P

  14. Beautifully vivid! This is so lovely. I love it that you're a morning person. I'm the only one in my family… but I like a quiet house all to myself, so that's okay with me. :) Mornings are just so lovely, aren't they? A fresh, new beginning- a new chapter of each of our stories, just waiting to be written. This morning I slept in until 7:40, but the idea of daily morning runs popped into my mind the other day, so I jogged a brisk two miles in the 70 degree weather, passing by various people, with various stories, just getting ready to start their days. I passed a man, his daughter, and their dog, waiting for a bus, and they intrigued me so much that I began imagining their story and writing it in my head. There is something about the morning light that is so exciting and promising and imagination-provoking.

    l o v e l y pearls, m'dear! (Those are my favorite, too :)) your little detail shots are always beautiful.

    xx.
    Lots of love,
    Lindsey
