#2374 "Dawn Day Singleton"

I like to focus on the simple and positive aspects of nature. The special lighting on the pieces of sunrise summer stratocumulus were all I really needed to brighten my day. There is no danger of Nature Deficit Disorder in the Singleton Sanctuary. The deer and porcupine were grazing on the clover which comprises our lawn. The critters were enjoying the quiet time as well before the world woke up on the new day. Sometimes we see two porcupines. We call them both "Piney" as we can not tell them apart.

June 6th was always a day of remembrance for me. Weather played an important role in the successful events of D-Day. The weather could have been much better but then the Germans would have been prepared and waiting instead of being surprised. The title is somewhat based on D-Day but with the word "dawn" replacing "decision". Nelson Chadwick, my Father landed on Juno Beach on June 7th, 1944. He did not talk about the war but did mention that he did not get his boats wet on that day. Their patriotic efforts allow us to paint in peace and I will never forget that...
