I guess it does pay to get up early, even though you’re retired. It’s a rare day that I don’t wake up before the sun comes up; however actually getting dressed and out of the house is more challenging. The golden light backlighting the flowers after sunrise caused me to dash outside with the camera- it seems like Spring is here at last!

My favorite time of day and love dahlias. I planted them this year and they have given me such a wonderful feeling. Have a wonderful day Melinda.
I guess the early bird really does catch the worm–or shot!! This is lovely!
