Promise on the Horizon

Early morning at Lake Washington.

Empty park bench facing Lake Washington at sunrise, with a snow-capped Tahoma faintly visible beyond the dark opposite shore, pastel clouds above.

Golden sunrise light reflecting in ripples across Lake Washington beneath thick gray clouds, a dark opposite shore, and a line of small ducks on the right in silhouette.

Distant snow-covered peak of Tahoma, rising behind a wooded shoreline and a few tall buildings, seen across Lake Washington in soft golden morning light, some scattered clouds.

Dewy evergreen branch in sharp focus with a delicate spiderweb stretched between the shoots, set against a blurred, damp, grassy field.

Two crows perched high in leafless trees under a wide blue sky streaked with soft clouds.

Ragged yellow and green leaves mottled with dark spots, layered densely over blackberry undergrowth.
