Sunrise

This is not something I see often.
I'd like to be an early riser, but my sleep is so erratic that I rarely rise early, so it's a very unusual sight.
I could hear Billy scratching at the door, so raced downstairs went as quickly as I could, and was bowled over by this gorgeous sight.

As if there's not enough to worry about, this afternoon there was a big brown snake sunning itself on the lawn.
It scurried off happily under the azaleas.
I'm not really concerned for myself, but I suspect Billy would take it on, and the brown snake is especially poisonous
