Having just peeked outside and admired the golden sunrise myself (through the trees), I can fully join you, dearest Alison, in your wonder filled appreciation.

Silently there, yes, but oh, so aware of the incredible awe inspiring beauty of it all! Thank you for another full immersion into your deep and precious perceptions!

Love and hugs.
Margherita

a truly beautiful rendition of 'dawn's early light...did you find the pic for the poem or write the poem in inspiration of the pic?

Steaven, I can bet my life (almost) on it that Alison took that exquisite picture herself.

Alison, I enjoyed this Alaskan delight, as much as I was expecting, and more!

Margherita,

Thank you for joining me.  I am on my way out soon to get pictures - wanna come with?

Love,
Alison

PS - I'll have my three dogs so I hope you don't mind canine kisses.

Thank you, Steaven.  Yep, our -Owl is 100% correct.  I take my own pictures and sometimes the words come when I look at the pictures.  Sometimes, I take the picture for the poem.  I think this time - they just went hand in hand somehow.

Alison

Thank you, dear Daark.  And yes - I know what you know I know that you know and well .. you know.

Diana,

You bring me so many smiles - and yes, you are right.

Your life is safe (thank God).

Beautiful imagery Alyson.

Ooh, can I come with you and Margherita - for the company of both of you, for Alaska, and last, but not least, for the canine kisses and the dogalogs that go along with the canine kisses. Please pass my messages on to them: "Woof, Woof, Woof!" (one each).

You and Diana make me smile!! Yes, I would love to be part of this photo-safari and though I don't have much confidence with dogs, I am willing to take into account their kisses ... that is, if you assure me, that they are dry!!!

Love and hugs.

Oh, Alison, say thank you to the puppalups, Gromet, Stuart and Abby-xyz for their beautiful offer to share their favourite cookies with me!  Tell them I accept with alacrity and explain to them that alacrity has nothing to do with electricity.

(Whispering to Alison so the dogalogs don't hear - please don't call Stuart, Stupid, even though it is a play on the word, Stuart, and even if he says he doesn't mind.  Please?  He can't possibly be stupid - playful, wilful, spontaneous, yes - but not stupid.)

Margherita, after the puppies' initial kisses to you (it would hurt their feelings if you didn't let them kiss you once each), I will keep them occupied so that you don't have to worry.

Oh man, Diana, you are gonna make me confess!  Okay, my animals all talk (a lot).  Abby is the spelling champion of the family (except she adds "xyz" to the end of her name because she says it is "elegant".  She taught Stuart to spell his name and taught him this spelling S-t-u-p-i-d spells Stuart.  She taught him that "stupid" is spelled S-t-u-a-r-t.  So, there you go - it's not my fault and I can't convince S-t-u-p-i-d that he has been seriously d-u-p-e-d.  I call him Stuart Little.

Love you,
Alison

Juju,

Thank you so much.
