Sparkling Sunrise


Dawn
Birthings

Dear Lin, Ahh Daybreak, there is a specific efficiency in how you’ve captured the "dew moist" transition of a morning. It feels less like a spectator watching the sun and more like an acknowledgment. Interesting though you bookended the piece with "Dawn" and "Lawn" because it creates a nice, grounded sense of place, as if the vastness of those "mauve skies" finally settles into the very grass beneath your feet. Amen! Blessings, Lin, Daniel

It’s been my favorite moments of the day for years. It’s nice too know you appreciate the bookends. Thanks, Daniel.
