It's been a few weeks since I saw the sun rise here in Malibu. There was work, there was rain, and there was work while it rained.

I would have worked right through the sunrise again today except the birds all went a little nuts. Not just the usual early-morning tweets and twitters but full-on arias with rhythm, melody and crescendo, and tiny little diva dresses cut down to there.

Here's what they were serenading, those early birds - rhythm, melody and crescendo out on the horizon, pink and blue and gold, expanding for all to see.
