Montague, MI – September 11, 2013. My stroll through the
neighborhood early yesterday began at the new Early morning light on a sunny day washes everything in spectacularly brilliant hues. Wild flowers flourish next to an old telephone pole and farther into the new meadow where a herd of deer feeds during the night.
Delicate Poppies, in particular, visually shout out the
magnificence of nature reflected in early morning’s glow.
An elderly woman angles for panfish on the river delta next
to the Fishing Bridge. She was among the very few people to witness this gorgeous morning in our neighborhood.
Golden color on the Lily Pads is a stark reminder that we
are on the cusp of season’s change. The river flats will soon be frozen and
covered with snow (something I don't intend to see again).
Down on the lake at the Municipal Marina a john boat floats
in a broad sliver of morning radiance, a vision that will be totally
unremarkable at mid-day.
A park bench, lamp post, and evidence of well-fed Canadian
Geese mark the end of my morning amble on this early September day when the sky
was clear, the air soft and the temperature absolutely perfect. The perfect
time for a stroll through the neighborhood.
