Good Morning Sunshine

This is what the sky looked like at about 8:15 this morning in the Bag Lady's neighbourhood.


And about 10 minutes later it looked all soft-focussy:

Wow. It's so pretty...

It is, isn't it? That's the very best part about living here (and having my computer right beside the east-facing window....)
It is still really pretty - all sorta soft-focus now. Might have to brave the cold to take another picture!

Beautiful..

the Bag Lady said...

Thanks, Sarah!

Pretty!

I really miss my east-facing bedroom window from when I lived in a house...

the Bag Lady said...

I don't blame you, Sagan! I never tire of looking at the sunrise.

Missicat said...

Beautiful! I have actually seen a few snowflakes in my area the last couple days, which is not normal for my area. I would like one good, deep snow, so send any extra this way please!

Emily said...

wow! I think I could get up to that every morning...but I don't think I could get up as early as you : )

Thank you, dfBL. I love the sunrise. The winter ones have such texture and tone and they are far better in the country than the town.

the Bag Lady said...

Missicat - I'm sending, I'm sending - it's not getting there?

Emily - wait until you're older....the hot flashes will get you out of bed early! :)

dfLeah - you're welcome. I love the sunrises in the winter. That's about the only thing I really love about winter.....:)

Penny said...

Wow, I think I could almost handle the crazy-cold if I got to look at that every day! Stunning!

TA - it is almost worth it! And it isn't really all that cold - about 12F right now. And supposed to be warmer on the weekend. Above freezing!

Beautiful! Hope you feel better! Up and at it, Missy!

the Bag Lady said...

Thanks! I even did my jumping jacks, and some weights and stair-stepping today! :)

Lovely Sis!

Hilary said...

Wow.. great shots. I'm not coherent enough for sunrise shots.

Lovely, lovely, lovely! And it is nice that your sunrise happens about an hour and a half after mine. You are actually awake & alert enough to think to grab your camera and take photographs! (I have to take a quick peek out the window and then get kids ready for school.)

df Bag lady,

wonderful pictures and I am glad that you are feeling well enough to be jumping around with the camera again.

the Bag Lady said...

Thanks, Sis!

Hilary - the sun rises so late in the winter, I've usually already had a pot of coffee by the time it appears!

Geo - well, at least you've got part of it....even if it is just the snow part!

kcinnova - that's where I have the advantage - no kids to get ready for anything!

dfTerrie - Thanks - I am feeling quite a bit better! Finally.

That's gorgeous. I'll keep it in mind when I get up tomorrow and there's nothing but grey.

Mary Anne - is it raining there?

Okay, I'll stop.

Ah...this pessimist likes the sunset!
You take amazing photos. Mine usually feature my thumb.

the Bag Lady said...

Mark - Thanks.... anytime!

Miz - Does that mean you don't want to experience it first-hand? :)

Marianne - some things are so easy to photograph, even I can't screw up!
