I had to get up before dawn on Friday morning. I'm not a morning person at all. It was painful. However, it didn't take long until I was reminded of the beauty found only in the mornings. Glancing towards my backyard I gasped ... then I ran to grab my (brand new!) camera.

Mmmm, lovely. All it's lacking is a couple of bionic nipples!
You managed to handle the camera ok?

Aaaah, she sighs...... now if International Coffees still made my Chai flavor for my morning cup of coffee all would be perfect with the world.

And what a beautiful picture for the dawn here in Northern California. Where it appears to have rained, overnight.

Wow...stunning. My fella is in CA right now...helped his sister and her husband move back to Hanford from Canada. He is a navy pilot was on "trade" with Canadian air force and now moved back and stationed at Lamoor (sp) I really wanted to go with, but schedule didn't work out. Planning to go in summer, hope we can meet for a margarita!

Truly amazing photo.
But getting up before the sun is NOT RIGHT. It's against the laws of the universe.

Perfectly gorgeous!
You got a camera? Will we get to hear about it??
How are you managing it with your arm?
Congrats.

Breathtaking! And I am still dying to know what kind of camera you purchased, but I am guessing you will have some great reveal so I will just wait patiently (biting my nails!). ;)

That is beautiful! The reward of a beautiful sunrise almost makes me want to get up early. Or not. : )
