At the risk of being boring, (What? Me boring - the very idea!) I will once again state that I love early mornings. To me there is no better time, the air is quiet and the sun teases its way above the horizon casting its golden light on God's creation. It does not happen all at once, rather it is a gradual build-up with the tips of trees catching the first glow, add a peaceful lake and the magic doubles. Suddenly your eyes are filled with a gorgeous light but remember it is only transient, just as it has built up gradually so it will die down again. Record it on camera but also remember that your eye is a lens and your brain a memory card.
If you have not been out at dawn to experience this wondrous display do try it - pick a promising day, choose a good spot and if it doesn't work the first time then try, try and try again!
