Things I Love About Morning...

• The wet, liver-tongued puppy love that wakes me
• The scent of dew, wet grass, ginger & jasmine drifting through the windows
• The silent darkness
• The first whiffs of dark, fresh-brewed french roast
• The sound of birds waking in the trees
• The first cup of coffee
• The first rays of sunlight crawling over the dark ridge of Haleakala
• The glowing blue laptop screen that brings me new photography posted overnight in the blogosphere
• The clucking parade of roosters, hens & chicks that march across my lanai to empty the cat's food dish.
• The sounds of grazing cattle in the pasture next door
• The feel of hot water washing over me
• The ripe promise of another new beginning
• The LIGHT
