Amazing Sunrise

Sitting at my kitchen table this morning, I noticed the room suddenly changed color. Glancing out the window, I gasped...there was a rosy glow on all the trees! Quick as anything, I grabbed my camera, ran to the bedroom, jumped on the bed and snapped a picture of the most amazing sunrise from my window that faces east. Incredible! The photography doesn't do it justice. I could hardly believe it was really that blue and that pink.

Five minutes later I was heading to Paulene's house for our daily walk. The second picture was snapped from her driveway. We started walking, but I could have tripped or walked straight into a pole for how focused I was on the heavenly display. Both of us had to stop numerous times in the first 15 minutes just to exclaim about the color of the sky. Seriously, I haven't seen that brilliant of a blue sky in...well, who knows when I have.

I'm glad we were up and outside then or we would have missed it. An hour later it was clouded over and starting to rain. The last photo is back in my driveway, and Mt Hood can still be seen as the clouds from the west approach.

What a way to start the day!
