Lens Artists Photo Challenge #356 – Quiet Hours

Our guest host SH has challenged us to show Quiet Hours. In his post he asks us “what makes for “Quiet Hours” to you. How do you see it in an image? How do you navigate the idea?”

My favorite quiet hours are early morning. These quiet times help me feel peaceful and calm before I start my day.

The featured image above was taken on a misty morning looking out at a field in rural Georgia. If you look closely you can see some deer at the far end of the field. The next three images were taken early in the morning when no one else was up yet.

Another time I feel the quiet is when traveling on a lonely road with no other vehicles in sight.

Lens-Artists #93: Morning

This week’s challenge from Ann-Christine is morning.

I’ve always been a morning person and for many years I’ve been the first one up in our house. I start each day by going downstairs to the kitchen to put the kettle on for my morning tea. Next comes quiet time, either in my living room where I can look out the windows, or out in my backyard butterfly garden under the arbor.

After my tea I often go for a walk in the neighborhood.
