At 5 am, before turning lights on to make a cuppa, I stepped outside for a few minutes.
Jupiter, who had greeted me through my bedroom window, was there in the west, close to the Pleiades, Taurus, Orion and Sirius.
The Milky Way, so bright. Crux and the Clouds of Magellan.
A great start to the day!

sounds lovely. I like the idea of taking in ambiance before starting a day.

@ptrck I was glad I stuck my head out the door (and followed with the rest of my body). I looked out and said a silent WOW.
