It is August. Where is this year going? Doesn’t everyone say that? I don’t remember ever thinking that the year is taking too long.
It doesn’t always occur to me that august is also an adjective. It means respected, impressive, esteemed, awe-inspiring. I’m going to set my sights on making it an awe-inspiring month. To help with that, once again I will be participating in Susannah Conway’s August Break. This is the month where she gives us prompts to use as we see fit in our creative endeavors. Today’s prompt is “Morning Light.” When I first got up this morning the sky was cloudy and I didn’t think I was going to be able to get a picture of the morning light and then this happened:

This is one of my favorite morning lights! After a few cups of coffee I looked out the back door and saw this:

Hi Janet
Nice idea for August. I like your “light” photos. The tree with the light behind it is especially nice.

I like to be up by 7 at least. Working from home makes it really easy for me to get started early since I don’t have to get dressed first! 🙂

I like your interpretation of morning light. I’m right there with you. I’m not sure what’s going to make my August awe-inspiring, but I’ll know it when I see it. I look forward to the daily prompts a la Janet.

I love the prompts, Janet! You fell off of my WP feed. I thought you were taking a break, but I saw you on Jacqui’s blog, so I clicked on your photo. 🙂

Thanks for finding me again, Jill. People do take breaks so I’m not surprised you’d think that, especially since I’ve never been one of those every day posters unless I have a project going on like this! Hope I am back in your feed now. It should be a fun month 🙂
