A continuation of the journey that began on January 1, 2010, recorded in "a year of getting up to meet the day." After 365 consecutive sunrise outings in that year, I couldn't bear to give up the dawn. This blog (no longer daily) will be informed and inspired by the rising light of the morning sun.

IN ADDITION TO PUBLISHING MY OWN POSTS, I INVITE READERS TO SEND SUNRISE PHOTOS AND REFLECTIONS FROM AROUND THE GLOBE.

the world beginning to wake up

sunrise:  6:33    20 degrees F.



Today's pre-dawn light woke me up with its siren glow.  I had to go out and bask in it.








We've been working on getting snow off the goat barn roof, so I went up to retrieve shovels, and take a couple of photos from a new perspective.








Good morning for dog play...






and Guster was very interested in this single blackberry stalk that J left in place when he mowed last summer.  We'll see if it survives the grazing deer of late winter.



The light that illuminates our world has visibly shifted.  It's more than the northerly shift of sunrise.  The angles of light throughout the day create an entirely different feel in the atmosphere - like the world is beginning to wake up.  The birds know it too, and are singing their exultations of celebration.

I love this time of year, especially when we have stretches of bright sunny days (even in below zero temperatures).  

It has been a while since I have received a sunrise contribution  -  Come on everybody!  Get up and meet the day - then share a photo, and if you are so inclined, share your thoughts as well.
