This scene is part of my morning commute. This beautiful Lunenburg Dory greets me in the morning and again in the afternoon.
Now, I am not a morning person. Slow to rise, and constantly underestimating the time it takes to get out the door generally makes for a rushed, and frazzled drive to work. I have always been that way.
When I see scenes like this one, where the water is calmand the morning light is perfect, I regret not having the time for a photo. No time to stop.
But on this particular morning (last Wednesday) I couldn’t resist. I could not. I pulled over, hauled out my phone, quickly snapped the shot, then rushed off. Not a second to spare to check the photo.
Later, however, when I caught my breath, I was glad I stole the moment. Maybe, tomorrow I’ll get up a bit earlier ๐ .
WPC – spare
Absolutely perfect photo for this challenge. I’m thinking you need to change the alarm clock five minutes so you always have time to take a beautiful shot like this. ๐
You are right about that! With the added benefit of having a gentler morning all around.
My eldest daughter introduced me to the wonders of the daylight alarm clock … so much gentler and you get to enjoy a more placid awakening and the joy of being sprightly first thing to breathe in the undoubted rewards of early morning ๐
๐ Interesting! I’ll look into it.
Hi again! I did take a look at the daylight alarm clock. It’s very, very interesting. I may give it a try in the wintertime. But I’m wondering if it would be as effective this time of year. My bedroom faces east, I have no curtains on the windows (hello, sun!) and we have a rooster. Since you have one already, what do you think? That said, I’m very intrigued. Thanks for the tip.
You are right about summer but I would get one before winter so you are used to it. Maybe not quite yet – the sun and old Rooster Cockburn will win hands down – but maybe in September. The daughter was always an early but I’ll tempered riser from babyhood … The clock has helped her wake more naturally and gently. As for me …. I used to feel quite aggressive towards the alarm bell …. This works much better for me and therefore my marriage!!!!
This sounds great!! I’m going to try it. Thanks again for this!!๐
I really hope it works for you …. For me it really has been night and day!
Great take on WPC-Spare
Thank you!!
I’m very pleased you stopped! What is it about rushing around in the morning ..๐
I don’t know, but it makes me crazy! And (to add insult to injury) I fear I’m too old to change.
But I’m glad I stopped on that morning, too. So very glad you liked the photo.
This photo was definitely worth the stop!
Thanks Joan!! It’s okay – I made it to work on time. Just. ๐
