Morning Escape

Posted in Nature
Down at the lake,
Water lapping,
Sunlight dancing.

Sparrows fighting over the last crumbs of bread,
The ducks fed, they drink,
Look hopefully for more
Mill around waiting,
Slowly depart.

The lake is quiet again.
I'm sitting below the normal water mark,
A dry summer - the lake a meter down,
Algae dead on the beach,
Lake grass under the water,
Exposed to sunlight gain new life.

Around me,
Ducks preening,
Children settling
A peaceful sunny start,
Patiently waiting for rain.


Yes,  on Wed morning down at the lake, I forgot my camera.  Which maybe explains why I had time to reflect.

About Me

Reflections on life and homeschooling from my rose garden. My focus is my three kids, Dancing Butterfly, Einstein and Happy-Feet, the way God speaks into our lives, and the lessons we learn. Officially we us a Classical Approach to our home-school, but I think that's often just the framework for my sanity. As we live in New Zealand, and enjoy nature and photography theirs likely to be a little of our local nature studies as well.
