Sunday's gifts

I rose early to work out Sunday. But a luminous dawn beckoned me to the stroll the rose and peace gardens near the lake. These were the gifts.














Is it autumn? Or is it summer?

The sweet, delicious smell of pine needles provided the inspiration for meditation under this tree



Always a good idea to accept such invitations, I think.

And may you find surprise and delight today and say "Yes," even if it means forgoing something Very Important that you must do.
