“Early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.”
I wonder if they still teach that saying from Old Richard’s Almanac? I’ve given up on the wealthy and wise part of the saying, but my Beautiful Bride and I are hoping the healthy benefits of early rising hold true.
It isn’t always easy to get out of bed (and out of the house) before the crack of dawn, but we try. Fortunately we are often greeted by a beautiful sight such as the one above.
Some days are cloudy, but there is still beauty to be found.
Clear skies have a spectacular predawn beauty of their own. The colors are amazing.
In addition to beautiful skies, we are usually treated to the songs of birds as we make our way around the golf course. The peace and serenity can be felt.
And we know we can count on the sun to rise over the mountains to the east and show us the way home.

Excellent post, Honey.. We do see some marvelous things (and I love hearing the birdies singing) as we walk… YES—we are trying to stay as healthy as possible these days. YOU are the WISE one –leading my path!!!!!! Thanks be to God for YOU and for US and for this gorgeous place where we can walk each morning about 5 a.m.
Love,

Stunningly beautiful, George! I love the first one the best, because those kind of shots are terribly hard to do.

I find it easier to get up before dawn, while on vacation, than at home. I get up on vacation for the sunrises. I should be able to do same at home. It rarely happens though!

Oh George, these are glorious!! I think it is the combination of the deep indigo blue and the pink and orange! i always miss this because I just do not have the gumption to get up early!

Thank you for your kind words, Ginny. I will admit that it isn’t always easy to get up and out the door this early, but it definitely has its rewards.

Thanks for your kind words. I seem to have less and less time with each passing day. Hopefully I can get some more posts done before too long.

Good for you in making that effort to get up so early for a walk. I find it easier in summer.

Gorgeous photos. My favorite is the first one. I love blue color and in this photo, sky is so blue.

I’m glad you like the photos. I, too, like the moon in the early morning sky.

I imagine it’s the perfect way to start your day. (me? I’ll start a bit later than you!) I’m glad you’re working on the healthy part and I know for sure you’ve got the WISE part down pat!
June 20, 2016 at 8:41 am |
Sometimes I think if I was as wise as you seem to think I am, I wouldn’t get up so early! But we do enjoy seeing the sunrises.
