I wasn't feeling too confident when I looked outside and saw not a cloud in sight, but figured that if there was no colour in the sunrise, I would take advantage of the perfect morning light somewhere along my path.
I was so organised.
Last night I packed my camera bag, put my clothes in the main bathroom so that I wouldn't disturb Adoring Husband while I got ready. Put my hat and glasses on the desk and put the lemon slices in my cup ready to pour hot water onto before I walked out the door.
Just before I left, Adoring Husband was awake so I detoured to the bedroom to kiss him goodbye and then rushed out the door.
Left my lemon drink behind AND my tripod! Ugh!
Anyway, the sunrise was quite pretty. I planned this morning's shoot because I knew that the tide would be out and I could get some nice 'still water' shots on the turn of the tide.
I took a detour to the lagoon on the way home and got this photo, before my battery went dead. Silly me forgot to charge the spare one, which was still in my camera bag, alas, also dead. So that was my cue to come home.
When I got home, I had my lemon water, which was still warm on my desk and then I made a beetroot, carrot and apple smoothie. It was quite delicious, but next time I'm going to take Vegan Chickie's advice and add some ginger.
Sunday lamb roast for lunch with potato, sweet potato, pumpkin, beans, snow peas, zucchini, onion and an interesting gravy made from the chicken stock that I'd frozen last week. It was very tasty. It was nice to create the gravy off the top of my head without using the usual bought powdered concoctions and no flour.
Then this afternoon, after a nice relaxing time on the couch watching the footy with AH, the clouds were looking interesting over the western sky, so I hopped on the trike and pedalled to the park hoping for a reasonable sunset.
I was almost disappointed, but then at the last moment, just as most great sunsets happen, I got this.
Today I'm grateful that my early morning was rewarded and I thoroughly enjoyed being up at the crack of dawn .. it reminded me why I used to get up at that time every day! I wonder if I can create a new habit?
Nite all
