As I opened my eyes at the insistence of my Fitbit alarm, I saw the light of the sunrise illuminating the bedroom curtains. I knew the light was something special so out I went to capture it. Not only with my camera but also my mind and spirit. There is something about starting the day on the sunny side.


Sunlight on the 10th Century tower.



The sunlight on the winery…oh my!

And the sunlight on the vines…




“Up at dawn, the dewy freshness of the hour, the morning rapture of the birds, the daily miracle of sunrise, set her heart in tune, and gave her Nature’s most healing balm.”
~Louisa May Alcott, “In the Strawberry Bed,” Work: A Story of Experience, 1873

Exquisite photos. They really capture the dawn light. I was out there first thing too with the kids, marvelling at the sun’s beauty.
It was a gorgeous morning.
