Musings [118 words]

I remember taking this selfie and thinking, “I don’t have time for this, I need to get to the water.”

Sea smoke, or lake smoke as it should be called, is one of my favorite sunrise views. And to enjoy it with a visible sun is a little more rare. This is the first time seeing it from above, and what a magical view it was.

I enjoyed what I could from atop Sugarloaf, but I also had an uncontrollable urge to get to the water’s edge as quickly as possible to see it from a more intimate vantage point.

It did not disappoint.
