Photographic Portrait

I opened my eyes to see A faint blanket of mist At the earliest part of sunrise As the fog began to lift With my tripod I could not resist To take the camera More for the gallery Love in photography The elegance in nature Always so fascinating Ever so peaceful Beautiful to be In the meadows Preferably alone The lake's ripples Gleaming exquisitely Looking at the clear water Sometimes showing me My own reflection Insects and flowers Animals on the fields Lakes and rivers People and myself I capture them all Not in a cage But in a photo For all to see Not disturbing them So I can return Some other day To see them again In all their glory
