In my dreams...

I wake up, at the lake.

She is with me.

The woman I love.

We...the two of us and our dogs, are anxious to start the day.

It looks to be a good one.

Lets make sure those camera batteries are charged!

Oh, and breakfast....

The most incredible omelettes. Asparagus, Cheddar Cheese, Onions. A thick delicious toast spread with Maple Cream from a local grower.

It's going to be a good day.

It took over 50 years to get here. We can celebrate life now. We can celebrate nature.

The birds.

The Butterflies.

The dragonflies.

The aroma of those incredible pines.

We will greet the new day. The birds are already all over the many feeders we have.

The lake is covered with a fine mist and gentle fog. Ready to relent in favor of a rising sun.

And we are ready to go.

What will we see today? What wonderful new things?

And when we come home...a hot lunch of soup and sandwiches. And maybe we'll steal a few Peanut M&M's from the bowl on the kitchen table.

Then, we will head out again. To see what we can see. To capture what we can, with our cameras and lenses. And share those sights with our friends, and the rest of the world.

And as they day winds down. We'll light a fire in the fireplace. We'll bask in the warmth, and the glow and the light.

Then we'll head to bed. To make love. To hold each other close. To tell each other how much we love each other. How wonderful it is.

In my dreams.

And only there.

This is my future.
