First Light

A streak of pale light at dawn was as good as it got today although I've seen photos of dramatic sunrises from the west coast on the internet today.
Maybe my timing wasn't right but mornings are a rushed affair in our households so I just grabbed this while the porridge was in the microwave.
The remainder of the day was cold, grey and busy, with a parent/teacher meeting after work.
My son got good reports but I can't banish a touch of sadness as that will be the last ever parent/teacher meeting I attend as he's in his final year at school.

Perhaps a sunset would have been more apt given the final comment; "You know how little time we have to stay, And once departed, may return no more" as my old buddy Omar was wont to write with his moving finger. Although that may have made it a bit melancholy. Unless of course you're planning to have another one and start the process again 8^>

A beautiful morning scene. It's amazing how fast time passes, be it the length of the sunrise of the duration of our offspring's childhood.

Well it's a nice subtle start to the day - you wouldn't want it all brash and loud :o)

Can't honestly say I miss those parent/teacher evenings. V.
