Since I had been up at sunset, it wasn’t easy to rise before sunrise. I took this shot from the bedroom window and went back to bed until the sun rose from behind Jenny’s roof. That’s when I knew I needed to get up– it was my birthday and I had a feeling this clear sky might not last. The early morning was sublime with the moon and sun taking their course, the birdsong, and the painting of the earth with the orange dawn glow. Sure enough, the clouds made their way in for the rest of the day. But I had gotten my birthday cup of sun and moon nectar.
