It’s early in the wee small hours and the coming dawn is filled with birdsong as I write this. That first peep of daylight is something magical, although I’m not often up early enough to see the dawn, so I thought I’d dedicate this week’s theme to all things early, starting with a photo that captures two of my favourite things; the dawn of a new day and the beginning of a new adventure – daybreak from an airplane window.
Early signs of life, fossils etched in stone – in this instance a close up of the Witness Trees in Seattle.
Early birds claiming the best seats for New York’s St. Patrick’s’ Day Parade. The parade wasn’t due to start for hours, I hope they brought coffee.
Some of the earliest signs of springtime in the Irish countryside, clumps of barely yellow wild primroses.
And another early harbinger of spring, delicate snowdrops from the Snowdrop Festival in Carlow’s Altamont Gardens

I think we consider too much the good luck of the early bird and not enough the bad luck of the early worm. – Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Early morning cheerfulness can be extremely obnoxious. – William Feather
