Friday Photo
My favorite part of the day is dawn. Specifically before dawn, because I love watching the sun rise. For whatever reason, I find that time of day and that particular sight most inspirational to me.
I took this picture on one of my morning bike rides a while ago. Yep, I stopped my workout, dug out my camera (yeah, I don’t have a phone that can take pictures very well–I’m lame) and snapped this picture.
Now, anyone who follows my facebook or twitter posts knows I spend a lot of time on my bike and often mention how it helps me think through books, plotting, and so on.
This past weekend was no exception.
I got to see a spectacular sunrise and start planning out the sequel to Wasteland. Four and a half hours on the bike allows for a lot of time to think things through, that’s for sure.

What’s your favorite time of day?

What a gorgeous photo! I’m not sure I have a favorite time of day. Maybe that’s because i love the weather so much here that I love the variations: warm morning, pleasant heat of afternoon, cool of evening. I always love the moment when I lie down to sleep, whether at night or in a rare afternoon nap.

Yeah, I like evenings. It’s when I get to play with writing and reading! 😀
Great photo, Lynn!

I’m exactly opposite. I love dusk. That’s the time of day when the world slows down and my mind comes alive.

Love that, “…world slows down and my mind comes alive.” Nicely put! While I’m most productive in the morning, I’ve been known to stay up to the wee-hours of the evening, writing! 🙂

I can’t say I prefer sunrise over sunset. My avatar picture is of the sunset over the lake I love to fish in. When I go fishing, there’s nothing better than watching the sun rise with your line in the water. The gentle lapping of the waves, the sounds of nature *sigh* Then again, watching the sun set, seeing the beautiful oranges and reds as it sinks into the horizon…meh. Okay, now I miss fishing. I need to go again. Beautiful picture, have a great weekend!

True, that orange is beautiful, isn’t it? Fishing, huh? I grew up fishing in MN and have seen many sunrises while on the boat catching me some walleye!! 🙂
