Some mornings I like to go for a swim in the outdoor pool near my house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sometimes, when I arrive and the air is cool, steam will be rising off of the warm pool. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The pool faces north-south, so when I swim laps, I swim up north 25 meters and then turn around and swim south 25 meters. Back and forth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This morning, as I swam up north and looked left to breathe in the air, I could see the full, or nearly full moon setting. Clouds partially obscured it, but it still cast a beautiful light across the dark, morning sky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To my right, as I continued to swim my laps, I saw the sky begin to brighten and get lighter as the sun rose over the horizon. Looking down at the bottom of the pool, half of it was lit by the daylight slowly creaping in and half was darker, lit only be the artificial lights around the pool. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are a couple palm trees near the pool. They are silhouetted in the morning light. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sometimes, if the light is right, I get blinded briefly as the sun finally finds her way to peak over the horizon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s quite magical, those early mornings at the pool. I ride my bike to get there, with my lights on as I pedal through the near empty streets. I see bats coming home from a night of feasting. As I pedal home, I see the birds taking to the sky after the sun has come up. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
