the weekly trip to the farmers' market, the sunrise
was nothing much but a little voice whispered
"look behind you Mr.Caeser"...I swallowed my pride
and did just that...
my hand rose and my camera started clicking
the landscape was washed with the first rays of the
sun while the sky had turned a deep mysterious blue
I kept walking and turning to snap, my heart
swelling to the wonder of emerging colour and the
depth of blue behind the trees touched with a breath
of gold.

There is no more beautiful sight, Arija, than the first rays of the morning sun catching the tops of the trees - and to catch it on camera is really something.
ReplyDeleteSo glad that you looked behind you! Don't you just love surprises like that?
ReplyDeleteHow was the farmer's market? I love roaming through a market with my basket.
I love that golden quality sunlight has first thing in the morning and late in the afternoon.. you captured it beautifully in your photos.
ReplyDeleteI almost complimented you how great autumn skies you captured, but then remembered that it´s spring there. Anyway, dramatic dark backgrounds that created a striking story.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous shots, Arija! Here in Seattle I'm always being surprised, my breath taken away just by taking the time to look up! I'm always surprised, delighted and have my breath taken away by the beauty that is always there -- in some form. Yes, I'm glad you looked behind you, too. What a wonderful surprise!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!

I love to see things lit up against a dark sky; everything looks so beautiful when that happens. Wonderful shots!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful morning sun! The light is so soft even if it's bright, and against that moody sky it is really stunning!

ReplyDeleteNature always provides the best paintings! :) Beautiful, enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteThese photos are stunning and extraordinary.
ReplyDeleteIt seems that you were walking through some magic land quite different from our world. You were definitely walking through the fairytale land full of amazing and vivid colours.
Happy skywatching:-)
Beautiful skies, for sure. If I may ask so : what exactly do you mean by : join the tribe, is that an expression, do you live with a tribe, ... ?

I like the way the light dances through the trees and the lovely contrast against the clouds.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pictures, Arija! I love the colors--subdued and yet so bright. :)
ReplyDeleteI love when the sun seems to be an uplight and individual trees are illuminated, or when the sky is lit from below. These are really delightful.
ReplyDeleteEach of these is a little landscape painting all its own. They have a certain light to them that I can't put a name too; but I love its effect.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful captures!
Another sweet sunrise.
