What I See in the Morning*

Fragrant odor of the dawn,

Sweet incense to waking souls

While the fresh dew spreads the lawn

And your spirit day controls

Let me, underneath this tree

Standing, be possessed of thee.

~James Herbert Morse

This is what I see each day when I let the dogs and cats out for their morning constitutional. It is so beautiful and cool at this early hour.

I'm really posting this for those of you who picture the desert as a sandy, empty, and desolate place. Who knew that a place called the Chihuahuan Desert could look like this?

I feel so lucky to live here.

*Maybe I should have called this post What I See in the Morning Before I Put on My Glasses. Looks a little blurry, doesn't it?
