The Morning Mist
“Silently the morning mist is lying on the water, captive moonlight waiting for the dawn.
Softly like a baby’s breath, a breeze begins to whisper.
The sun is coming quick it must be dawn.
Smiling like a superstar the morning comes in singing, the promise of another sunny day.
And all the flowers open up to gather in the sunshine, I do believe that summer’s here to stay.”
-John Denver, Season Suite: Summer

Another great sequence. It’s all about light and how it affects perception … beautiful.
Beautiful.
Great pictures Tom! What beautiful scenery to see in the morning. Hoping to see some beautiful morning skies soon.
Wonderful pictures of the mist rising and the dawn getting brighter. John Denver’s words are a lovely companion to your photos.
Gorgeous photos and the John Denver quote fit perfectly (always liked his music).
dreaming waters…
Soothing and captivating 😃
On a side note: It’s funny how your pics of Canada look so much like a mix of Scotland and Finland. No wonder you have a lot of both people living there. Your header pic could be from Scotland and the mist ones could be from Finland. Amazing. If I ever have the money, I make sure I’ll spend it on a trip to Canada.
So pretty. And I agree with the first comment, it makes me wanna rise up early as well. I should do. There’s plenty of mist here in Scotland 🙂 I will make it my mission to walk to our wee loch in the wee hours of the dawn on my next day off. Your pics make me all happy inside 😉
Your shots perfectly capture the way morning bursts upon the world. Makes me want to rise early every day, just to witness such beauty 🙂
Great shots, Tom. They’re all wonderful, but I like the first one best. The two birds in the sky makes me think of Korea. I lived there a long time. Koreans often place two birds, ducks usually, in paintings to symbolize relationships. They give newlyweds a pair of “marriage ducks”. The couple can communicate on how their marriage is going by the way the ducks are place in relation to each other. Anyway, it’s a beautiful photo. Thanks.
Such mesmerising pictures…
Absolutely gorgeous photos!
What a great way to start my day. Thanks!
Stunning 😊
What a delightful sequence. Finding the tiny grebe (?) in the last photo was a perfect, smile-producing touch. I think I’d name it “Summer.”
