\"DSC_5676\"<\/a>I am forever wishing I could get up earlier. And earlier. And go to bed earlier. And earlier. But it never quite works.

I love the light, the quiet, the coolness, the promise. Wouldn’t it be great to hold on to that morning karma all day long? But then, of course, you wouldn’t have evening\u2026and sunset–my second favorite time of the day.<\/p>\n
