Skywatch Friday - Glorious Morning

After a lovely sunny day last Saturday on Whidbey Island, during the early morning hours Sunday the wind came up. The bluster woke me up, and I got out of bed to check the sky. Sky watchers do that. What I discovered was the beginning of a glorious sunrise. I stood out on the deck, in my night clothes, and watched and took photos, marveling in the beauty I had been allowed to witness.
As the color at the epicenter began to fade, it spread out around the sky, over the lagoon, to the clouds in the north, to the east and the west.
.
My Lord, what a morning.

  5. Awesome sunrise shots. I wish I could walk out and get shots like that, but I have a lot of trees and houses blocking the view. Nice posting for SWF.

  11. As the old saying goes, red shy at night, sailors delight. red sky in the morning, sailors take warning. The sunrise did portend stormy weather to come, but the rain didn't hit until noon. My next post will feature the kite surfers having a blast.
