Summer Sunrises

 
Today, I’m sharing some recent sunrises. No poems or song lyrics. Just sunrises.

When the sky looks like this, I’m glad to have awakened in time to witness it.

The clouds were especially beautiful during this sunrise.

So beautiful, in fact, that I’m sharing two photos taken that morning.

Wildfires, sparked by lightning strikes, have been burning not far from us. Some days, the wind blows the smoke in our direction. Not such a pretty sky, but you can definitely see the smoke in the air.

The meteorologists predicted that the smoke would bring about some interesting sunrises and sunsets. That was the case on Thursday morning.

 Sunrise is my favorite time of day.  Perhaps.

This is my first link-up to Weekend Reflections.

    since I’m not a morning gal, sunsets are my joy!

  14. Beautiful pictures. I am a night owl, so rarely see the sunrise. Tonight the moon is keeping me awake!

  15. Such gorgeous photos….I’ve often wished we lived by the water somewhere – it’s so relaxing and peaceful; even if there’s a storm, it’s still beautiful and quite magical isn’t it. Sunrises and sunsets are my favorite time of day.

  16. I seem to have adapted myself more to my husband’s schedule and don’t get up as early as I used to. I’m glad that at least I’m able to enjoy the sunrises that you experience. Thanks for sharing!

  17. I wish I could wake up early enough to see the sunrise every morning!

  18. That is a nice sharing indeed : I’m never awake early enough to catch on those one ! Thanks !
