The waning moon of March rises as a smudge against the eastern sky today. This photo, taken at 6:48 Eastern Daylight time, shows the moon as a spot of blur, even though I could pick out the crescent shape against the purple depth of the morning sky.
There is a glow of moonlight across the calm waters of White Rock Shoal. The faint drift of a jet streak crosses the sky. Canada geese cackle in the distance. Robins call back and forth in the still bare trees.
The household is wakening. A cinnamon coffee cake is in the oven. The first pot of coffee tastes like sweet nectar.
It is a Pure Michigan morning just before spring at the Lake Huron shore.
