    A Touch of Pink

    Waxing Crescent moon and pink clouds at Reservoir Ridge Natural Area

    It was a cool fall day yesterday. Sunshine, blue skies and scattered clouds in the morning then a few sprinkles later in the day. I did not sleep well on Friday night. Woke up around 12:30 feeling nauseous. The visit to my cardiologist this past Tuesday showed my blood pressure is now in stage 2, so he wants me to go on blood pressure meds. He wants me off the meloxicam because one of its side effects is increased blood pressure. So I stopped one medication and started another. Who knows what that is doing with my system. I took my walk to the east side of Reservoir Ridge Natural Area last night and arrived in time to see some pink in the clouds and waxing crescent moon. Have a great Sunday!

    Morning at the Reservoir

    quiet morning at the reservoir
    calm water mirrors predawn sky

    as the sun nears the horizon
    the meadow begins to come alive

    song birds fill the nights silence
    crescent moon surrenders to day

    dark shadows give way to light
    cherish this gift of awe and wonder

    I brought out the blue in this image, which makes it look unreal, so we could see the crescent moon better in the upper right corner. Interesting that I didn’t even see the moon when taking the image. 😁Have a great Sunday!
