Gentle light caresses fields shorn of their summer abundance as the newly awoken sun peeks above the horizon, tinting the wide sky in pastel shades. A lonely blackbird breaks the lingering hush of the pre-dawn hours. Soon it is joined by its fellows, and their voices rise in joyous chorus. Peace settles upon me as I breathe in the magnificence of the new born day in this place that I call ‘home’.

restfulness distilled
This post is for the Weekly Photo Challenge. This week we’re asked to share a picture of a place local to us – a place that we think of as ‘home’. These pictures were taken a few weeks ago when I was out for a dawn walk to the meadow, my favourite place in the village. This is the view on the other side of the lane.

Louise – Just lovely – the photos and your thoughts…what came to mind for me, was something my father always said when we saw a Red Sky…”Red Sky at Dawning, Sailors Take Warning”. Funny but I still say it here (now living in the desert) and my husband tells me that it doesn’t work in the desert, only at sea…does it work where you are?

The rhyme works in part. I believe it’s to do with light from a clear sky in the east reflecting off clouds moving in from the west. It depends on your main weather systems moving in from the west. Our prevailing winds are south- westerly, but we also get a lot of north-easterly winds. The day I took these pictures became quite cloudy later on in the morning, but it was quite pleasant in the afternoon. I’m glad you like the post. 🙂

I meant to comment on this earlier today, such beauty! That sky and field is broken beautifully with color and light. It is gorgeous. And, your words paint a lovely image as well! Beautiful post, Louise.

It wasn’t a particularly misty morning that day – just enough to add a nice feature to the pictures. 🙂 Thanks for visiting, Ali.
