Soaked in Dew

“By means of all created things, without excaption, the divine assails us, penetrates us, and molds us. We imagined it as distant and inaccessible, when in fact we live steeped in its burning layers”

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

Good morning from Colorado. We had an almost cloudless sunrise this morning but… we had some really enjoyable fog. I left early and headed to Arapaho Bend then made my way to the open fields around Riverbend Ponds. The ponds are located just beyond the trees. I like this vantage point and have shot from it many times before. I included the grass in the foreground because they are soaked in dew. I took about 40 images and had a difficult time deciding which one I liked the best. I think that’s a good thing. Again, I like what creation does as I stand in awe of it’s beauty. I followed this experience with a chai latte and chocolate muffin at Cups Community Coffee. Have a great day!

Retired. Having fun with photography. Journal daily. Meditate daily. Learning haiku/poetry. Have a love for fountain pens.

    A few degrees cooler and that would have been beautiful frost. As it is, the dew is quite beautiful. It’s easy to forget that the beauty of a sunrise is not always in the sky!

      Yes I prefer the dew rather than frost. And, you make a fine point that the horizon along that edge we talked about a couple days ago does not necessarily need to be the subject of our image. Hope you are having a wonderful day. Planning your next trip?

    I can just smell the dewy vegetation, Monte. I too love this perspective with all of the foreground. What a calming gift for me this morning. I haven’t been able to check in regularly lately. So very glad that I started my morning with you again today! Blessings.

      Some images do bring up memories of the scents we experienced in the past. No need to fret about showing up on a regular basis. I’m just glad and excited when you do stop by to visit. Hope you have a wonderful day!!!
