Happy New Year!

Sun peering over our backyard wall. First sunrise of 2011. Picture taken at 6:07 today.

ETA: after posting this I found this quote:

faith is like the bird who feels the light and sings while the dawn is still dark Tagore

Birds started singing a few minutes before it got lighter. Only one to begin with and then more & more. The moment just before the sun finally came out was like a private concert for Mati & myself. Nothing could be heard but birds singing. Something to remember.
