With Verdure Clad

Haydn's Creation is an oratorio that tells the biblical story of creation. There's a movement in Haydn's Creaton called "With Verdure Clad." It basically consists of the Angel Gabriel singing about how beautiful and lovely plants of all kinds are and in what a pleasing manner they decorate the landscape.

 

Anyways, this image taken in the pre-dawn light on Wagon Road Lake continually makes me think of that song "With Verdure Clad." It was just so magical there, that morning. There were so many hummingbirds buzzing around drinking from the Spotted Touch-Me-Not flowers growing along the beaver dam in the mid-ground of the photo.
