Sunrises. I think it would be cool to do a book, “365 days of Sunrises.” It has probably been done. Probably daily calendars also. . . Well, it IS a cool idea! I might still do it! Sunrises are my favorite time of day. They offer a new beginning. A fresh start. All is good with the world. There is no such thing as a poochy sunrise because there is no such thing as a poochy fresh start or new beginning.
Thriving as a human
Part of thriving as a human is to make the best of what is set before us. I recall sunrises shared with good friends. Maybe we were out fishing at the opening of day or headed out for a hearty breakfast. Pancakes are to friendship as maple syrup is to the sunrise. They combine so well.
And I barely noticed the cold
I went out early this morning, ahead of the sunrise and waited for it to blossom. I could tell by looking at the pre-dawn sky it was going to be a dandy. There was a sub-zero Windchill but I am pledged to not speak of the weather again until temps hit 40 ABOVE zero so I’m not going to share with you how I nearly froze my tail off out there waiting for the sunrise to gain steam!
It was worth it. I may do a series of sunrise photos, “The Evolution of a Sunrise,” and make it available at my website, RedBarnProject.com. Watching the sunrise grow and intensify, ultimately igniting the sky with hues of reds, oranges, yellows and blues was amazing.
Sunrise Evolution
I’m not going to post the images in this blog (well, maybe one or two), but I will certainly have them at my website in the Scenic Gallery and labeled SunriseEvolution. I think it will be a nice series for a wall grouping. Or, just a single wall hanging to fill an open spot at home or office. Also, I should again mention the Acrylic Block desk art. Very cool! One inch thick acrylic. Sunrises and sunsets all but glow in the medium!
It was a fun outing this morning. Sunrise photos, a rather large rabbit sitting in the middle of the Gazebo, a singing Cardinal and two rowdy Chickadees. The Cardinal was singing all the while I was outside. These two Chickadees landed in a branch directly overhead and chattered incessantly at me. I wanted to take photos of them but it was honestly too dark. I just appreciated the company!
Here are a couple of the sunrise photos:
