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.

sunrise through an August mist

Aug. 14th dawn -- Sutton Island, Maine -- 5:34am




I have just returned from a lovely eight days's immersion in island rhythms.  There are limitations to life on an island, but they are more than made up for by the sense of natural pace that overcomes you in that setting.








It was especially productive for my writing life.  I think if I could leave the rest of the world behind for a couple of months and stay out there, I might be able to crank out the rest of this book in no time.  As it was, I made the most significant progress of the last couple of years, sitting at the same table where my biographical subject ate her dinners eighty-some years ago.



There was a strange gathering mist on the horizon that morning that made eerie, twisting cloud-shapes that curled around the sun and neighboring land masses.  Quite beautiful.

    What magical moments you captured in your photos. As always but these were especially wonderful ;o)) Thanks for the posts and spending so much time focusing on the book. I can hardly wait for it to be finished.
