Pre-Dawn Walk with Mollie

Today- began with a predawn walk.  The sky is lit in pastel shades of yellow, pink, lavender, blue.  There is just enough light to see green leaves and mountain edges silhouetted against the predawn sky.  A silver-white half moon shines overhead.

The breeze rustles the leaves, in the distance the river's constant rush.  A bird chitters, we have awaken it.  These are all almost quiet noises.

The lit windows of houses, tell of neighbors awakening.  The morning air is fresh and cool but promises, the coming of warm with the sun.

The paper retrieved, Mollie and  I return home to the light in our window.
