Sun Rising Over the Mountains


     In order to be healthy, I have been making myself do four laps walking/jogging around the pond.  If the weather is clear, I do it early in the morning.  If if is raining, I put it off until later in the day.

    The other day it was very clear, but there was a lot of dew on the plants, so instead of my running shoes, I wore my gum boots (rubber boots, “Wellingtons”).   They were not the most comfortable foot wear for jogging, but they did keep my socks dry.

    As I was rounding the pond, heading in the direction of our house, the sun was just starting to peer  above the mountain range behind our house, back-lighting all of the dew on the plants.  The horsetails looked nice coated with backlit dew and the star-shaped leaves of the lupine made for an interesting scene.   I had my phone in my pocket, so stopped my exercise long enough to snap this picture.
