Description
Driving to work,
Damp, chilly morning,
Mellow music plays.
Didn't want to leave the house,
The warm bed,
The warm body, still snuggled in.
Stopped at a light:
The fog in the trees,
Damp underbrush,
Dripping leaves,
Bare branches,
Only enhances the mood.
The song ends.
Push the button
That lets you hear it once again.
Light changes.
Take a breath,
Leave memory behind.
Pull it together,
Put it in gear,
Drive to work.

I think this is beautiful, and for me, there's no melancholy here, only, 'Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness', and 'Bare ruined choirs, where late the sweet birds sang'. Love it!
A superb mood photo to compliment a nice story/poem.
You keep producing exceptional photo's I hope there is no end?!!!!!!!
I really love days that are soft and dreamy like this. Just a hint of the deep rich colors on the other side of the veil. Excellent capture. Bunny
Excellent!!!!!!!!!!-------------------;O) THANK YOU TARA FOR YOUR GREETING, FOR MY BIRTHDAY!!! A GREAT HUG FOR YOU FROM ARGENTINA ROBY ;O)
Beautiful shot , goes so well with poem ! Ana
it looked like this last weekend up on Talimena drive. beautiful fog capture
As you know, I love fog/mist photos and find this one super great with all that wicked foliage dominating the scene. Incidentally, I thought you worked at home and didn't have to drive to work.
LOVELY SHOT
Pensive... heavy... a misty view. Lovely.
Both beautiful, picture and poem.
Lovely.
Wonderful shot & poem!!
Beautiful photography. Beautiful poetry.
That is just the way I feel on the way to work around here. The fog is so thick you can hardly see what is in front of you. Glad to see that you at least captured the mood.
The poem sucks! Cut the alarm off. Do not drive to work. Stay in bed, get up at two p.m. Drink coffee until three. Get your camera out and take pictures in your robe until four or five. Go back and take a thirty minute nap. Get up and make an egg sandwich, eat it while uploading newly acquired macros of perfect roses and orchids. Upload to RR and take a long shower until hot water runs out. Call office and complain about twenty four hour virus, and promise to be in bright and early tomorrow. Todd P.S. Great picture and I am just kidding about your poem. Just a different point of view........ :)
It's sometimes hard to get yourself in gear on mornings like this, but there is a very serene quality to a misty morning. Excellently captured atmosphere!
Perfect title.
I'm with Todd, it's that nasty bug that's going around!! But, really a great foto and your poetry brings it to life!!
Beautiful.
Excellent on both counts!
