Moody, morning mountains–I love the mood of the moment, Steve.

I find early morning, especially a few moments before even twilight begins, to be a moment of calmness that sometimes sets the tone for the day. I am glad that you caught the feeling. Thanks, Mike.

Thanks, Steve. I have gotten a little lazy with the somewhat greater confinement caused by the pandemic, so I haven’t seen a sunrise in a while. I may need to go back to my older habits of getting up a bit earlier.

Now that’s a change for you; you generally don’t go for such somber scenes. It works here.

I hadn’t thought of it as somber so much as quiet, peaceful, and somewhat positive.

I was influenced by the etymological sense of somber as ‘shadowed.’

This makes my canoe urges come out. Actually, we’ve been talking about taking our canoe (which we brought with us in the container) out for its second paddle this weekend, this time in one of the nearby bays. I hope to be able to report on how that goes. It’s pretty exciting.

The river does invite a lot of boaters and canoeists. I’ve had a few crew teams in my images of a particular bend in the river. I hope you have a great canoeing trip.

It looks like it may not happen after all, thanks to local restrictions, but if it does, I hope to make you among the first to know.

I hope that you are able. Are the restrictions due to Covid or another consideration?

It’s the Covid rearing its head again. Four new cases in a household yesterday. Sigh.

At least it is all in one household and hopefully discovered in time before any spread. NZ has still done amazingly well. Sadly it only takes one careless individual to multiply the disease.
