My World Tuesday - dawn


I'm still getting used to having to walk outside to get to Lauds (Morning Prayer) and Mass each morning. In my former monastery, I just walked downstairs and was near the inside entrance to the monastic church. Here, our morning services are open to the public so we use the Retreat House chapel. However, this time of year, the 6:20 a.m. walk is a pleasure because of the beauty of my favorite time of day - dawn. And it is Southern California, so, the temperature has been in the comfortable low 50's.

Dawn is really the best time of all.

I suppose you have many new things to get used to.

The church looks beautiful. Anxious to see it in daylight too.

what a lovely picture. I'm like you, I love the dawn but it is very hard for me to see it. LOL I love to sleep in.

Many blessings to you

Wow, what a beautiful place to live. Your photo's wonderful; it would make a perfect wall art or card. The light in the church just draws me right in, and I want to be there too.
