A nudge awake at 5am.
A frantic run towards the coast.
No buses.
Just have to leg it.
Wait sun!
Wait until I get closer to raise your sunny head above the horizon.
Please wait…I’m coming.
Chest heaving, legs running.
It feels so good. The Monkeys are still tucked up in bed, their Dadda can whisper the good mornings today.
It’s 5am, and it’s my time this morning.
My time to chase the sun…

That final photo is just so beautiful. I caught it too, having just come back from the beach where so many people have already caught maybe a bit too much – there will be a lot of sunstroke in Sydney town tonight. I can feel the advent of proper watermelon season.

The sun is just ripe for frazzled skin today isn’t it. You will have to come a feasting with Monkey Boy to eat watermelon.

That is so uplifting. I am going to the beach on Tuesday- but I’m not sure if the sun will be there waiting for me. If it is I will take some pictures for you of a wintry beach at daybreak.

A few warm summery shots for you Heidi…I have to say though I quite like a bleak, wintery beach, and for sunrise shots they are the best ones.

Thanks Amanda. It certainly was worth it, and the snaps are a nice reminder of why it’s worth while for me getting up at that time.

It does feel a very long way from your frosty garden. It is warm today. I can tell it’s going to be hot when the cicadas start singing at 7 in the morning.
