Morning mist

The sun rises over Silver Spring just west of Yorkville, Illinois. The movement and temperature of the spring waters keep it from freezing throughout the winter. This dawn of this late summer day saw the waters adding a slight mist to the morning air.

As the summer prepares to surrender the stage for autumn waiting in the wings, the pace of life slows. The urgency of spring and summer fade and time relaxes a bit. The long sleep is coming.
