About that time daily, too early but sometines I sleep in later. Retirement is great!
You deserve to sleep in, John! Cher xoxoxo
Thanks very much, Cher! ❤️😊

Only when I travel! It is peaceful listening to the loudest Robin wake up his friends. Early bird get the worm, and all that.🩷🇨🇦
Thank you so much! Yes, what a cool way to describe the Robin! I love that! And yes, there’s always that early bird catches the worm (and in my case, the early bird gets the freshest bread at the bakery!) LOL Cher xoxoxo
Nice, Cher. Love it showing ohly a few offices lit at this early hour
Thank you, Don! I love that too! It’s like a bit of calm before the proverbial chaos of the day! Cher xoxoxo
The buildings supposed reality but the reflection on the water perhaps is the reality we are searching for. Hugs. 💕
*Scratching my blonde head* – I needed to hear this brilliant interpretation today, Joseph. Thank you so much, my friend! Hugs, Cher xoxoxo
yes am an old paper buoy Cher~!
LOL Ah, my haiku friend! That makes perfect sense! LOL Thank you so much! Cher xoxoxo
I usually do rise before dawn. My favorite time of day!
Is it, GP? Do you find that the calmness and quiet makes such a difference in your day? Thank you! Cher xoxoxo
Most definitely. Ease into the activity and noise sure helps me.
Thank you so much, GP! I hear you! There is just something so special about the quiet in the a.m., isn’t there? Cher xoxoxo
😉👌☮

Love the colouring in this photo, Cher. And yes! I do rise before the dawn. 💚
Thank you, Michelle! Being an early bird you know what a magical time of day it is! Cher xoxoxo
Yes I do! Xoxo
🙂 xoxoxo
It depends on the season 😄 I like when I catch the minutes when the night changes slowly into the day and the first birds begin to sing.
I completely understand that, Erika! LOL What you described is the perfect season! Thank you, dear Erika! Cher xoxoxo
✨💖

I generally rise before the sun – it’s my favorite time of the day. Lovely shot of a city sunrise!
Thank you so much, JT! Is it? The calm and serenity are sublime, I think! Why thanks so much! Cher xoxoxo
Gorgeous.
Thanks so much, my fellow Chicagoan! Cher xoxoxo
Yes, I’m up with Larks, Cher. I’ve always been a morning person. I like to make the most of the day. Fascinating photo. It’s like a work of art.
Are you, Hugh? I think that is such a positive way to start the day: up with the larks! Do you find businesses are open earlier these days, Hugh? Ah, thank you so much! Chicago never ceases to amaze me! Cher xoxoxo
No, most local businesses near us (besides the supermarkets) seem to open around 10 am and close at 6 pm. Cher. In London, even the big retail shops open later than they used to when I worked in retail. However, most now stay open until quite late. Back in my days when I worked in retail, late-night shopping was only on a Thursday evening, and we never opened on a Sunday. How things have changed.
They certainly have changed, haven’t they, Hugh? I was literally watching a BBC Archive documentary on YouTube yesterday, which described a group who were adamantly opposed to retail stores opened on Sundays. There was another group who was all for it. I think this was in 1957 if I’m not mistaken.
That’s so interesting that late-night shopping was only on a Thursday evening, Hugh.
