Sunrise in Stepford

Took the dogs out on the levee this morning. It was an unusually beautiful morning here in Stepford, with a mist hanging over the bayou in the grey dawn, everything just so still and quiet, as the waning crescent moon hung low in the sky. The clouds off the Gulf were at first crimson, then salmon, then shining copper. Just a really beautiful, peaceful morning. Maybe it's an omen for today, or maybe it's these eyes through which I see it, which awaken more and see more clearly with each day, or maybe it's both.
