Sunrise – Eskildoodle Photos and Feelings

Sailing Away

One of the last of the holiday decorations was seen sailing with the sunrise, and heading towards its safe harbor until the next holiday season. #safeharbor #sailingaway #sunrise

Rising With the Sun by Howard EskildsenThe middle of the night Seems a strange time to arise To drive to the place Where more than time flies From security to concourse Then onto a plane With the thrust of jet engines We rise upward again The sun hugs the horizon As we leave the runwayContinue reading “Rising with the Sun”

Sunrise Wreath

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

Venus in Blue Beams

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

Shadows of the Season

The rising January sun lurked low to the horizon, once again casting rays where the sun seldom shines. 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”

Dawn of Departure
