Pastel shades of morning, glow as dark wanes to light. Colors brushed in the skies in peach and lilac tones as dawn begins to rise. Pastel shades of morning, are emboldened by noon. Inflamed as if on fire, shining ever brighter as sunbeams fly higher. Pastel shades of morning, darken throughout the day. Amber honey hue wends, deepens as hours go by before the sun descends. Pastel shades of morning, suddenly reappear when sunlight starts to fade. 'Fore drowning in the sea soft colors will cascade.

So do I love them, Anne-Lise. You have the right idea to catch them at those special moments when the colors blend and you stand there amazed at the beauty. Thanks and hugs.

Thank you, Tom. If only as poets we could capture the nature's beauty in our words, but that's not possible, especially when the painting is constantly changing.
