Corner View: Early.

Once upon a time I used to be an early bird and I loved it. I loved waking up at around 4-5am just to make some coffee and read books until it was time to get ready for school/work. It was my habit for many years and today I wonder what happened to it? Am I really so tired that I am no longer able to lift my eyelids at dawn? These two or three hours before G. is awake would certainly help me to accomplish few things that I am not able to do during the day. But even a cup of espresso that C. brings me to bed early in the morning before he leaves for work not always really wakes me up. I think I should get myself one of those mugs with writing on them: "all that coffee in Columbia won't make me a morning person". 

The photo for this Corner View is random. Early morning dew, sparkling in the rising sun. I found this image in one of my old folders. I decided to tidy up 25 thousands photos that are on my computer at the moment and I keep finding interesting images that I always wanted to post here but never did. I might start doing it now. "From old folders" sort of thing; let's say every Thursday I'll post one or two old photos here.

Thank you Cole for this week theme :)

  1. I really envy people who can get up in the morning as I ABSOLUTELY can't. I love working at night though.
    I love this green shot.
    Like early spring too :-)

  2. Your description of your morning glory could be mine! I discover the emergency of having a morning coffee latte when I was pregnant (and desires of prenant women couldn't be resisted) and for the last 16 months it is a question of survival ;-)
    Your picture is so refreshing: it's said that it is really healthy to walk barefoot in the morning grass, but I never could do it ;-)
    Have a good day!

  5. I get up 4:45 clock when I go to work - no, I'm not really an early bird. I would rather go back to sleep.

    Your header is very, very beautiful.

  6. We grow and change, don't we? I have always been a night owl/late sleeper but I've learned to get up early three days a week - seems just about right! A few early mornings, a few days of sleeping in. Happy Medium? I think so!

    Yes please to an old folder segment - sounds lovely!

  8. There is nothing better than rising early and starting the day before the world is up. It has been a long time since I have done that!

  9. That's a wonderful ritual you had. That is my ideal. I try to get up as early as possible between 5:30 and 6 - though it won't last...once the sun starts coming up later, the later I start rising too. Early morning quiet with coffee and books is the best - I'm with you on that one :^)

    Looking forward to more of your random old photos - this one is a beauty...

  10. I would love to have someone bring me coffee in bed, but knowing me, I 'd drink it bed and then go back to sleep.

    The grass looks so refreshing and clean. It invites a barefoot romp.

  11. I always say I'm going to keep getting up early in the summer, but that doesn't happen. I revert back to "late to bed and late to get up." It just seems to work best for me, although as a teacher I have to conform to early hours during the school year. I just get less sleep.

  12. One more comment: The dew drops on the bright green leaves are refreshing and make for a lovely photo. That's a good idea you have for showing the photos in your folders.

  14. what a jolly good idea! i've already noticed you've posted 'bout london, will go check out in a sec.
    and how funny! i am still doing what you are contemplating in your post : waking up early to get things done, mainly to read...
    actually, i prefer to do that in wintertime... ;)
    n♥

    next time i'm in london, we might grab us a coffee?
