Cruisin'

Life works in mysterious ways!!!

In my previous post i used the word"cruising"while driving along Lakeview blvd, listening to Marc Antoine's music on my favorite radio station 103.1(smooth jazz).I didn't know the name of the song as the host of the program didn't mention it.I loved the song.Today i googled it and found out that the name of the song/album is "Cruisin'" and the cover photo is what you see in the picture,as for me i was cruisin' with a sunrise background.

Chasing sunrise

What a wonderful feeling to be by a big lake shore at dawn!!!

The freshness of the air,the serenity of the place,and the quality of light are magical.

I woke up at 6:00 am, i can feel the cold,i checked the forecast on the Internet,it's 41degrees,makes it one of the coldest days in Orlando.I had my cup of coffee,few dates and pecan halves to charge the batteries and have some energy, dressed up warmly,then jumped in my Jeep,direction Lake Tohopekaliga(Lake Toho for short). 10 minutes later,I'm cruising along Lake view blvd with Marc Antoine's music coming out from the car speakers added to the picturesque landscape.

I walked around the lake,taking pictures of dawn and sunrise. Flocks of birds flew in unison,forming different shapes in the sky before landing on water for a bath. The horizon is covered with a spectrum of colors,it's a beautiful view worth waking up early to enjoy.

Just before the sunrise,i turned around and i saw the full moon behind the light house,it was awesome.Ironically,both of them are guides to the seafarers,one in the ancient times,the other today,one is created by God,the other is Man made. Later on in the day i made a discovery that the moon looks bigger during the daytime,i don't know if it's always true.

When the sun is up in the sky,and the light is intense,i left the lake and drove away,with no aim, the backroads of kissimmee stretching in front of me,the sun plays hide and seek with the electricity poles,i felt I'm driving in route 66,a sense of freedom in in the space,gave me the feeling of being part of Americana.
