Early morning, Piddlehinton, Dorset, the prelude to a beautiful May day. The grass was rich with dew and the sunlight shining through the mist took my breath away. I love Leonard Cohen, and I think his song Morning Glory fits this image well.

No words this time?
No words.
No, there are times when nothing can be done.
Not this time.
Is it censorship?
Is it censorship?
No, it’s evaporation.
No, it’s evaporation.
Is this leading somewhere?
Yes.
We’re going down the lane.
Is this going somewhere?
Into the garden.
Into the backyard.
We’re walking down the driveway.
Are we moving towards….
We’re in the backyard.
...some transcendental moment?
It’s almost light.
That’s right.
That’s it.
Are we moving towards some transcendental moment?
That’s right.
That’s it.
Do you think you’ll be able to pull it off?
Yes. Do you think you can pull it off?
Yes, it might happen.
I’m all ears.
I’m all ears.
Oh the morning glory!

    Oh no, definitely not!! Mine was pretty much a matter of being in the right place at the right time. Yours shows real skill post production, which is something I have yet to embark on. But thank you, I really appreciate your comment.

    An absolutely stunning image, you are so lucky to live in Dorset. I love it with a passion. I lived in Loders near Bridport and Beaminster for a while.

  • Tessa Bishop replied

    Thanks so much Pauline. This was one of those lucky moments when I was in the right place at the right time! I don’t know Loders but my sister lived in Beaminster years ago and it was so lovely in that area. Australia must be very different, but equally lovely?

    How very evocative! I never feel more at one with myself than when I am following an English country path. Superb!

  • Tessa Bishop replied 20 days ago

    Thanks Kerry – I know just what you mean about country paths – unless there’s a gale blowing like there is now!
