Excellent pic, Pat. As I continue my path in retirement, I am finding that to be up in time for a sunrise is less difficult than being in bed before one ;)
If you hadn't taken such a splendid sunrise image, my advice perhaps would have been: go back to to bed Momma, and do another attempt at night for a sunset image. But viewing this one, my comment is superfluous. Perfectly done Pat!

Being a night person, I applaud you for getting up early...or perhaps as Raj said, you were told to get up, lol...your efforts were very nicely rewarded with this beautiful and promising start to a new day.
