Sunrise Merewether beach

I was woken this morning at 4.30 by Hannah who was barking at a couple of cats settling their differences in very loud voices. The abuse was shocking. I decided that I should leave them and go and have a look at the sunrise and I was very glad I did. It was lovely being out early again in the morning and I should do it more often. This was taken before the small star (as runningbackwards once called it) poked it's nose over the horizon clouds at 5.40 am.

Before I left for work I heard the call of the yellow tailed cockatoo. A sure sign that rain is on the way. Clouds are now gathering and there are forecasts for thunderstorms and hail. Bring it on. Might have an early night tonight!
