Morning Pond

Maine

Perfect calm and gentle shapes lured
me into this serene portrayal. The misting
rain diffused my senses and the light itself.

I had seen a hawk circling the pond and
waited till shivering for it to enter my frame.
It settled into the tree at left, arousing the
warnings from a red squirirel accross the
water. The squirrel's voice echoed in the rain.
