Waiting for Sun Rise

Lately Ive been leaving for work in the dark before sunup. This week however we have off. So Ive been greeting the Sun whenever possible. The other morning I stood in the cool air, the kind that sneaks down your jacket collar. I was not alone, while waiting I listened and heard, turkeys, cardinals, geese, ducks, meadowlarks, an owl, our resident mocking bird, dogs in the distance and a rooster.
Canadian Geese leaving the pond for the day flew over me in small groups announcing their departure.
Some left alone
Peach blossoms waiting for the right moment to open.
A species of nanking cherry we planted for wildlife seems ready to bloom as well.

crab apple leaves greeting the sunrise, and daffodils my daughter planted years ago still come back each spring for these early morning walks.
Sunrise.
