waking up early
sitting in the stillness of the lake
with the birdsong
of 9 different birds
captivated.

I love hearing the birds start to sing so early. However, I would not like to wear them in my hair. 🙂

The majority of our birds like to start singing pre-dawn…I guess that’s the trade-off for enjoying their antics throughout the day.🙂
