Early Wednesday Morning
Last night just after I turned out my light, I said to Adventure Man “don’t you love these cold winter evenings?” We had turned the A/C down a notch back when we had all that humidity, and I hadn’t turned it back up, so it feels refreshingly cool. Adventure Man, on the other hand, has his flannel nightshirt on; I was born in the cold winter of Alaska, and he was born in the heat of summer in the hot south. I love sleeping cold, he needs more covers.
Somehow, all these years, we’ve made it work.
I woke up early this morning, not jet lagging or anything, just rested and ready to start the day. It was five. I got my coffee and went out on the balcony – and it was wonderful! It was probably about 68°F – maybe about 20°C – and there was a slight wind blowing and it ALMOST chilly.
The sky was clear, and a deep cerulean blue, and you could see so many stars. Sunrise was still an hour away, but you could see a dim light beginning on the horizon. Oh wow. I love to start the day this way.
Miles to go before I sleep, so need to get through the morning business so I can get on with assorted projects. With this discernible change in the weather, with Kuwait entering the loveliest time of the year, I feel good about being out and about today.
Early dawn – sorry, I jiggled a little so the star isn’t so sharp
The sun has moved far to the south!

Dawn is my favorite time of the day, when I know I can enjoy the sunrise and head back to bed 🙂
Lovely pics
Beautiful, it really is amazing at the break of dawn.
On my way to my car this morning I was thinking the weather is stunning mashalla. The second photo is gorgeous and looks like it was taken on board a ship or right at the beach.
I was up at five this morning, too – couldn’t sleep any longer!
But I don’t have the beautiful sea view that you do 🙂
I love the sun…. I need to start waking up earlier to enjoy it more…
Nice pictures , you love next to the sea?!
Did you manage to see the meteor shower a couple of nights ago? I stood out there at the appointed time and stared east until my eyes dribbled out of my head..no luck. Too much atmospheric garbage in this country.
Thought the star was a helicopter 😉
And yes, I love that time of day, especially now when it’s really nice and cool.
I walk the dogs almost every morning at that time at “our” beach, let them swim and get a bit wet myself – nice 🙂
I start to feel alive again, after being inside for the last three months, yack 😉
Gosh! I should make a habit to get up so early in the morning before October is over!
How breathtaking!
And head back to bed??!! Elijah!!!
N. – It was a sweet morning!
1001 – Great minds running in the same direction 🙂 It was GLORIOUS!
Little Diamond – but you CAN have the view (hint!)
ChikaP – Sunny and COOL! Ya gotta love it!
Yes, Blue Dress, I love next to the sea, and I live next to the sea, too! 😉
R, I didn’t see the meteorite shower, and we were looking, but this morning, oh, the sky was clear! You could see forever! It was a magical morning.
Rainmountain – LLLOOOOLLLLLL!! It does look like a helicopter! My hand jiggled; it was a bright star.
Joel – I think you won’t have to get up too early – sunrise is getting later and later!
Kinan – I thought of you. I know how much you love the sunrise. Where are your Damascus photos?
Beautiful! 🙂
Thanks, Mac. Are you taking any photos these days?
