Early morning sunrise from my bedroom window.  If you look closely you can see the Capitol dome.  Awoke to see this outside my window and grabbed my iphone to take a couple of snaps.  Daylight upon waking evokes a comfort not felt when it's pitch dark.  The morning daylights doomed to fade until December 21st, I'm already counting the days until the shortest day, just over six weeks from now. The seasons actually accelerate as you age.  A perk, I guess you could say.
