The Cambridge Dictionary defines dawning as:
- Sunrise or Daybreak: The time when day begins and light shows in the sky.
- A New Start: The beginning or birth of an era, age, or activity (e.g., the dawning of a new age).
- Growing Awareness: The slow start of understanding or realizing something (e.g., a dawning realization).

The early bird catches the worm (and the best photos)! 😉
Isn’t that the truth!
Don’t we all desire the dawning of a new age?!
But while we wait, it’s wonderful to be able to witness (and document) the dawn of a new day.
Growing up in Germany, you most likely missed out on this pop song that celebrated “The dawning of the Age of Aquarius with :
“Harmony and understanding
Sympathy and trust abounding
No more falsehoods or derisions
Golden living dreams of visions
Mystic crystal revelation
And the mind’s true liberation
Aquarius”

Thank you for sharing, Julie. I’m not sure I know this particular song, but the musical “Hair” became quite popular in Germany too, so I was humming along to the song “Aquarius.” 🙂
Too bad we haven’t yet managed to achieve harmony and understanding . . . 🙁
Yup. That’s the song, originally from Hair, that I was talking about. ;- ) Harmony and understanding seem a long way off.
That early morning (and late afternoon) light is so delicious. I especially love the water lily photo…
Thanks, Will. I love water lilies. Hope you are well!

The best tie of the day as the light starts to spread across the land and water. Have a great day Julie. Allan
Agreed. Have a good day, as well!
I love those long shadows, golden light, and that pond lily in the morning light. Well seen and photographed!
Thank you, and thanks for visiting!
Nothing like daybreak to start one’s day!
It was worth getting up early for!

Thank you! I’m glad I got up early. 😉
Beautiful in every sense of the word.
Thanks, Laurie. I try to be hopeful.
