every moment is golden

It seems my need for sleep is being overridden by the need to see 

every moment of the day.

I keep thinking that one day I'll catch up on my sleep, but Darn It! ...

there's too much to see and do  in a day that only lasts for 24 hours.

One night last week I stayed up till all hours of the night~ just because the moon was so bright, the night was incredibly warm for our area and time of year,

(and the wine in my hand too good to put down.)

Then  just the other morning my internal alarm clock went off  as usual...far too early.

The sky looked just about ready to put on a display of a sunrise,

so I thought maybe a kayak would be the perfect venue for viewing.

The following captures don't need my words.

{So I'll be quiet for a change.}

Moments of a day can be so golden.

And so worth giving up a few blinks of sleep for.
