Sunrise Dec 20 2015

I had my first glimpse through the bedroom window,

the sunlight barely inching over the ridge top, simply

a deeply pink, thin line.  I knew I would never be able

to capture it because it exists for only seconds, which

was the case.  Pre-dawn is so beautiful.

I found the camera and memory stick (which is 

never in the camera) and as quietly as I could, 

walked out to the deck to snap this shot.  

It's a great camera but I only know Auto settings right now.

It was truly gorgeous, more than the camera shows you.

Suddenly the whole sky turned purple, pink, yellow and orange.

Now, just a few minutes later, I am starting to see the bright spot

where the sun will soon pop over the hills.  The breeze is starting

to blow with the trees swinging left to right and deep purple turns

to a lilac blue.  

Pretty soon my little guys will start to dance,

swinging back and forth, all day until the 

sun goes down.  It sort of makes you want

to mimic them which would be great exercise!

Yes, I know Halloween is over but Santa wanted a 

dancing partner and we get a kick out of watching them.

It doesn't take much to amuse us.
