The world to myself!

Yesterday morning, I climbed a big hill in the dark and had the whole sunrise to myself! (Chook was still snoring in the van…) About three quarters of an hour before sunrise, the sky was lovely. For a while the colour faded, then for a couple of minutes before the sun popped up, the sky was like this. An amazing thing to have all to oneself!
Another quote from the book Chad got me from Outward Bound.
'Our life is frittered away by detail… simplify, simplify.'
- Henry David Thoreau

Sky always better before sunrise and isn't it the best time to be out!

[Dianne]

@maureenpp I do love it, but like my ‘sleepins’ too.

[Henri Russell]

So, so pretty. I love the softness.

[Marnie]

@dide Oh woweeee, that's breath-taking glorious. Wish I'd be there too, but then you wouldn't've been on your own, so I guess not a good idea.

[Marnie]

BTW I love that quote, I've written it down for future reference while I'm trying to declutter my study.
