Oh, what a beautiful morning!

Since I was up anyway (!!), it was a gorgeous chilly morning for a hike, an attempt to burn off some of the strange nervous energy. It's still cold and winter-y enough to create magical fog on some mornings, like living in the midst of - or above! - the clouds.

I am not, for clarity, tempted to give up my sunset and stargazing addictions in favor of mornings. But a little occasional variety (even forced) isn't bad for the soul.
