Tranquility

Alarm clock sounds, feet hit floor.
Flip light switch, eyes squint from glaring light.
Turn on shower, hurry up and wait for water to heat up.
Twenty minutes later, showered, dressed, hair, make-up done.
Wake girls up, brush hair, make beds and breakfast.
Out door, in car, coffee in hand, take a sip before backing car out.
Drive around this curve and that one, up hill, down another.
Stop at sign, then light, then one more sign, another light.
Arrive at one school, "Goodbye, sweetheart have a great day!"
Down hill, through light, turn left at second light.
Arrive at second school, get out of car, scoop little one up.
Through doors, one, two, three, "Good Morning y'all!
"Have a great day sweet girl, I love you!"
Out doors, one, two three.
Push unlock button, open car door, put keys in ignition, start car.
Hand on steering wheel, take a second sip of luke warm coffee.
Look up and see  . . .
Beauty.
Take a deep breath,let it slowly out, give thanks for brand new day.
Take another deep breath,then another, enjoy this moment of   . . .
Tranquility.

The pictures capture the freshness of the morning and I can feel the mountain air that surrounds that area just by viewing these most awesome shots you have captured..., must have be awesome being there at that moment.

Holy wow! Those are awesome photos. Nothing like the sky to give us so many colors. And to make us stop and take a breath in a busy morning.
