5.30am wake-up call...

.

Yesterday, wrapped up in my duvet and dreaming sweetly...

I was woken abruptly to two seperate alarms going off, neither of them mine!! :-(

Two of my youngsters had set their mobile phones for 5.30 - why? No idea. And they didn't know either! One said, "I didn't know I'd set it for that." The other said, "It wasn't me..."

Long and short of it was that there was only half an hour until my normal wake-up anyhow, dawn had broken, so I decided to do the dog-walk early. It was kind of nice waking up before the sun had gotten over the horizon, like I had a month or so ago. Peaceful. No cars passing. Just birds singing.

I reached the forest just as the sun was sending up its scout-rays over the treetops, but before it was ready to show its face.



Ah, my, it was lovely when it pushed up a little higher.... but I didn't stop for long. Not having been to the lake for a while, I thought to walk that way, and see if it was still there :-)




It was. And oh how wonderful it looked, decked in swirling mist...

The mist was swirling from the left to the centre. It was whirling from the right to the centre. And when it reached the centre, it stretched its arms upwards and rose up to tiptoe, flung back its head, arms stretched, and bathed in the sunlight.

These pictures do no credit to the dance:







So, I took some video clips and slung them together to try and give an idea of the moment....the mist, the birdsong, the dawn. Here's a couple of minutes for you...

(if its not showing yet, come back and try again later...takes a while to 'ok' it)
(and if you get taken to YouTube, it's worth
looking at the big screen (button bottom right of screen))

You relaxed now? :-)

Have a great day!! :-D


PS. I've now made all the pictures I need to do the post on "How to Put up a Peaceglobe in the Sidebar" (a good old step-by-step), so I'll be onto it either later today, or tomorrow... please be patient! :-)
