greeting the day...

i sometimes wonder what awaits us early in the morning... first thing - just as the sun is beginning to come up... the new day starting.  if i can drag myself from bed - give up that illusive sleep that only begins to come in the wee hours of the morning for me.  it can be a sacrifice if i'm willing... and if i can be aware.  so lately, i've been getting up early to get my picture of the day done but not paying much attention to the sky and what might be going on there.  in all honesty, i'm not paying attention to much of anything most days... i can be on auto pilot, if you know what i mean.

however, this is what greeted me today...


a moment in time that appeared as though god took his finger and painted sun color through the skies... leaving a purplish hue as a backdrop for the trees.  i stood in awe... and within several frames of my camera capturing it, it was gone - the colors altered, changed forever.

then a little while later, another gift...




what a special way to welcome the day...  a blessing to behold such loveliness and beauty in quiet moments away from the usual stresses...

happy day.....
