Our work weekend in Petoskey always starts out with mornings at the bay to watch the sunrise (which is never as beautiful as the sunsets), but worth the 5 am wake up!
These are from that ritual.........
#1 Canadian geese bathing as a six pack of mallards pass by doing their strength training
#2 Sunrise on the Bay
#3 From a park above the bay

Thanks for the serene morning wake-up, Jane. I think it would be terribly hard to leave there!

Gorgeous pictures Jane! They bring back memories of weekends DH and I spent many, many years ago at his Grandpa's house in Muskegon.

Thanks everyone. Sounds as though the pics did just that for you all also, what the actually morning did for us!
Glad I shared them
