At daybreak the air holds  
a slight chill.

There is something about the light  
on this fall morning.

It will be a good day to ride the trails  
through the forests nestled  
between the Sound and the river.

There is so much beauty  
to behold, to chase and capture.

The other night I caught  
a Sunflower and the moon  
in conversation.

Perhaps I'll see a Heron fishing,  
a deer startled,  
the mountains and trees  
mirrored in still water,  
and a lone swan gliding  
across their reflection.

I'll ride, listening to the rush of the wind  
as I sail down the hill  
that descends from the trail head.

I will stop when I see the artistry  
of mother nature on display.

The perfect composition  
of the massive fallen tree,  
roots a semicircle pulled from the ground  
by the power of the torrent of her tears  
and the force of her breath  
amidst the lightning and thunder.

I will adjust my lens  
to capture the beauty I see  
and perhaps to share with you
