Ribbons.....

After an RV trip west we are back to central time and it's getting dark earlier and earlier every night. Also early morning walks offer a new view.....of "our" Lake Michigan. Fenway and I headed out about 6:45 this morning for his first morning "business"...the quick walk before breakfast.

It was cool enough that I needed a jacket, so I grabbed my mom's lightweight coat from the closet. The grey/green one with a hood that I took from her closet after she died. Every time I put it on it's like a "hug"....even though it's been years since our final goodbye. Fen and I did a quick walk toward the lake and then back home. The low ridge of clouds across the lake showed pink where the sun was starting to peek up. No camera or phone with me....no photo.

But coming home later in the day I noticed that the wind off the water gave me ribbons of color stretching from the horizon to the shore. White caps and blues and greens and even browns. The shallow area just off the beach is bottom sand kicking up and turning the water into an unappealing brown.....but just look....the colors of the water change every day. Some days are just more complex than others.

I so appreciate living near water....this big body of water....it is different every time I see it.
