Lovely post Sue. I am one that sleeps through the dawn. I'm a night owl and no matter what I do to shift my circadian clock it just doesn't happen.

Thank you, Pamela, and me too! When I do get up though, it is so magical, so peaceful, so beautiful, I wonder why I don't do it more often. Spring is coming over here and I have made a pact to relish the Dawn Chorus this year and maybe take a nap in the afternoon! πŸ’›πŸ€—πŸ™

I always think the same thing when I do manage to get up early. It's lovely and magically and I love to hear the birds singing in the morning.

We've had nearly spring then deep freeze, then nearly spring melt again! But we have had BLUE skies! I love it!

My favorite time of the day are my early morning walks with my dog through our neighborhood. I let her choose the route which varies. It is much quieter at this time of day and I barely see anyone else out which I like and few cars. I can hear the birds singing. I observe the sky which is often much more interesting than later in the day and I check-in with the trees and flowers in people's gardens to see what is happening. During Covid and pre-dog, I used to sit in my front garden for sunrise and just observe the wildlife around me for about half an hour. There was a lot less traffic on our street during that time and I learnt a lot about the birds that visited my garden just by noticing.

That sounds perfect, thank you so much for sharing. There is something magical about the start of day when everyone else is sleeping! You can hear Nature more, especially the birds, and I love to see things change and grow through the seasons. It's lovely that you let your dog choose the route, they love to explore different smells and the I should imagine you are very loved for not sticking to the same path every day. Blessings to you both and lovely to meet you.

Six inches of snow fell overnight. I should go play in it.
