The sun continues to flash surprise scenes as it rises through the front windows. On this morning, it momentarily encircled the dining area with a glowing garland of light, much to my delight. #morning #sunrise #garland #wreath

Home Henge
Every year around the time of the equinox, windows in our entry way project light patterns from the rising sun across our living room furniture. Like Stonehenge, we have our own seasonal solar calendar in our own home that is telling us that fall is here. #homehenge #stonehenge #sunrise #seasons
Morning Gold
As the sun prepared to rise up from the eastern horizon, golden fingers of light poked beneath the clouds to tickle their undersides with delight. While “all that glitters is not gold,” this moment was certainly golden in more ways than one. #sunrise #golden #lightshow
Venus in Blue Beams
Light from the rising sun cast gold and blue beams across the sky and seemed to spotlight Venus shining brightly in the blue beam. Additionally, Jupiter is just barely visible near the trees below and to the left of Venus, his light nearly lost in the brilliance of the dawn. #venus #bluebeams #sunrise #jupiter
End and Beginning
The night ends and a new day begins and with it a new, unexpected, journey. The old crescent Moon rises barely ahead of the Sun, soon to disappear from the morning sky and be reborn in the evening sky a few days later. Along with it ride memories of a close friend and relative recentlyContinue reading “End and Beginning”
Sunrise: Contrails, Clouds, and Colors
Colorful clouds and contrail lances graced the pastel blue of the morning sky. Though the ever-changing colors lasted only a few moments, the memories remained to brighten the whole day. #sunrise #contrails #clouds #morning

It is slowly moving north day by day, and in a few weeks its fingers of light will no longer be able to reach this door handle. For now, however, the wandering rays will work their magicContinue reading “Shadows of the Season”

Crepuscular Jupiter
The rising sun cast beams of light across the blue, morning sky. Shy Jupiter sat subdued in the middle ray just to right of center. These bright sunbeams are also known as crepuscular rays, a term that can securely cement any conversation squarely in the center Nerdsville. It comes from the Latin word, crepusculum, whichContinue reading “Crepuscular Jupiter”
Where the Sun Seldom Shines
The rising sun makes its morning magic by casting horizontal rays of light to illuminate parts of trees that seldom see direct sunlight. I almost expect to hear giggles from the trees as they are tickled by the rising rays. #trees #sunrise #sunbeams #light
