I love the pre-dawn early morning light.
I’ve stayed in a house right on Scott Creek on Edisto Island several times in October, right during some of the most beautiful weather we have here.
Watching the sunrise with a cup of coffee on the porch is one of the real treats of being there.
Just before the sun comes up the light is all blue and dark. Then that first streak appears.
Fave moment of the day.
And that blue says fall to me.
That rich cobalt blue that happens between October and March, filling both the water and the sky with the taste of blueberries
The color of a flock of bluebirds rising from a fall field, the salty smell of the sea.
