matutinal? not.
I love the thought of sunrise
but rarely see it

Photo by Dennis Skogsbergh... view more of his work at his website here. It's astounding how he actually catches the autumnal colors of the trees in this Smoky Mountain portrait. Subtle beauty initially overshadowed by the striking sunrise flair.

Just wondering how certain words come to be, but too lazy to dig deep and find out. Like "matutinal." Why not just say "early" or "morning"?

DEFINITION of this 4-syllable adjective:

Relating to or occurring in the morning; early.
pertaining to or occurring in the morning; early in the day.
