Saturday, 7:30a

Some wonder why would I go out for a walk at 7:30a on a Saturday morning when the air temperature is 32 degrees?  The one day a week I could possibly sleep in?

I was given another chance to see a sunrise and I hope I am able to see the end of the day's sunset.  There are many individuals who will no longer see what I see.  My father is one of those individuals (may God rest his soul).

My mother's eye-sight is failing (in her prime, she was an amazing seamstress) and her hearing nearly gone.  She gives me the reason to be thankful that I am able to still see and hear at 100%.

It is also my quiet time to re-charge and to watch Nature's innocence and to appreciate what I have around me.  :D  It's just 45 minutes out of my 24-hour day.

This is my one morning a week that I stop the "To Do" lists, I stop my cleaning, I stop my laundry and I stop rushing through the morning.

I'm sure friends and neighbors pass by this view every day on their way to work or running errands.

Enjoy what I see.  :D

I had a friend say that he doesn't have my lakeview.  Well, what about the tree at the corner?  A tree is just as beautiful.  I never thought my lakeview was beautiful until I had a camera in my hand.  Before my newly found hobby, I thought my lakeview was just a bunch of trees in water.

I never thought a dragonfly sitting on our patio table or an ant on a dandelion was ever interesting.  A dandelion....that yellow, annoying weed that used to make me cringe every spring...

Now I look forward to every day wondering what other interesting subject I can find.  :D


Now I look forward to every winter (amazing I can say this when I'm originally from Hawaii) when I can challenge myself to find the perfect snowflake.

Or the perfect photo in sub-zero, snowy weather....
