This was the view I had this morning when one of the dogs woke me up to go outside just before 6am. I had to grab the camera. I have so many sunrise and sunset photos but I never get tired of them. There is always something unique about each one I see. The unique piece today is that I saw the bird flying in my direction and swooping down toward the water, I tried to capture the reflective flight as he went by. On the back of the camera I didn't think I got it but when I uploaded to the computer - I got it! It makes me feel inspired about life in general to see how nature cares for itself. Everything happens in it's own time just as it is suppose to. A lesson I need to draw near to my heart as I am creating which dreams my future holds.
It has been a couple weeks since my inaugural blog post. As with everyone else, there are not enough hours in the day even if I didn't have to sleep. I have spent a lot of time pondering the things that we learn and talk about in the Flying Lessons e-course I am taking. I have met new friends, learned to look at making a creative biz in new ways and have been quite overwhelmed at times. I need to remember to take a deep breath and enjoy moments like the one above. That is when the creative spirit touches me the most, in those quiet times. I have made a new goal to look for at least one of those moments each day. Even during the week when life seems hectic and frazzled, at home and at work.
Now I have some silver out and am ready to work on a piece I have been planning for a while.
Enjoy your Sunday and take some time to reflect on your life's flight!

You must live in such a beautiful place. The photo is stunning. I know what you mean about feeling overwhelmed. I'm trying to not put too much pressure on myself to do everything at once and just try to enjoy the process. Images like yours definitely have a calming effect. Thanks for sharing!
