It is shared by the moon and stars shining in this serendipitously clear twilight; cold breath in
the air. #dawnchrous

It is here now. Sensations unfolding. More artificial lights than I imagined but lit well by near
perfect moon. #dawnchorus

No stars. White lights of screen and torch. Echo of neighbour’s radio. #dawnchorus

No stars, but candlelight. #dawnchorus

The sound of a plane descending, far away. Like a giant sighing himself back to sleep

Action happening overhead that can’t be seen; the sound of a plane descending far away.

The astronomers would be excited for this dawn. High skies and stars aplenty. #dawnchorus

It is utterly still. A crow calls distantly and an animal moves in stealth, a secret exploration
held in the just-about-night. #dawnchorus

It feels like the world’s asleep. #dawnchorus

Sudden crash
in opposite park border, two foxes tussle against the railings, then one remains on vigil, it’s
alone on the street. #dawnchorus

Stillness-
veiled noise on the edge of entrance.I hear a sound I imagine to be a car but could also be a
plane, the sea, the wind. #dawnchorus

The fridge has woken up and is humming. Now it's me, the dog, the candles, the fridge and
our reflections. #dawnchorus
5.58 mepaterson
How quickly the edge of dawn pushes in with the three trees like standing stones
punctuating the horizon, holding the ceremony. #dawnchorus
5.58 SpittingStars
Cold outside draught of air on my inside forehead. #dawnchorus
5.59 eddydreadnought
traffic still breathing, leaves and close-up words like sips,
still
just the streetlight. #dawnchorus

Neighbour’s radio is a disturbance. She is yawning loudly. The sky has a dirty gleam.

My dawn - slow to wake but birds have been the steady noise makers throughout.

Planes like glowing insects in a pond. #dawnchorus

The dog sneezes, the fridge hums, the giants sigh, the birds are silent. #dawnchorus

Milk-white airplane powers across, low, can it see me? Am I a speck of light, in the toy-size
city? #dawnchorus

The stars are generously sharing their space with the roar of planes, fixed on a pathway as
the moon drops. #dawnchorus

Taking a breath, the dawn holds its territory - a shared space coming into rhythm, a cat on
the fence. #dawnchorus

The room is becoming more shapeful.
I can see the edges of objects, books, and the creaking duvet disturbance of my sister.
