Sweet Morning Light…

A few weeks ago we rented some cabins  Up North for our annual rafting trip.  This time there were twelve other families.  It was an incredible time but crazy all the same. For some reason, my body did not seem to have a desire to sleep in.  Those of you who know me know that I am a late nighter so to get up at 6:00 a.m.  is not really my thing.  Nonetheless, I was up  watching  the sun rise, which I never ever do and was completely enjoying the stillness while drinking my coffee and journaling on the front patio.  As I watched the sun peeking out over the hill, I could not help but run and grab my camera.  The light was INCREDIBLE.  However, I needed the perfect subject and I found her.  At first she resisted.  She pulled the covers over her head, growled at me and rolled over.  But then I told her she did not even have to get dressed.  I told her she could just stay in her undies, grab a blanket and bring along her Bed Head.  Well, she did just that and we had an amazing 20 minutes alone while all of the other cabins were still off in dreamland.  I loved every second of watching the sun rise that morning.   She ran in the field, threw up her blanket, leaned under a huge tree and had her own little quiet moment as well.  Ahhhhhh, I know I must savor these times because soon they will be a distant memory(sigh).  I am so blessed to be able to capture them for myself, for my children and for my future grandchildren.  How I would love to have an image like this of my mother or grandmother.   There are many of these to share.  The Sweet Morning Light almost makes me want to start setting my alarm much earlier.  I said ALMOST.
