in dawn’s glow
even more of a wonder…

dawn… Nikon D750 f/7.1 1/432 85mm

the dawn is here…

In the summer night
The evening still seems present,
But the dawn is here.
To what region of the clouds
Has the wandering moon come home?

~Kiyohara no Fukayabu

Meditative photography with an iPad, John F Simon’s “Drawing your own Path,” a pair of reading glasses, a fountain pen, and the dawn.  Edited in Lightroom CC.

Seeing Differently: 8th of 15 images

…

It is more important

To see the simplicity

To realize one’s true nature

To cast off selfishness

And temper desire.

                                   ~The Tao-te Ching By Lao-tzu

a gift from a predawn rainfall…

water drops on the top of a well-waxed automobile…

as day breaks

all around the castle

the cries of ducks ~Kyoroku*
