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
Morning Magic
Cool, moist air laced with fragrance of plants and flowers await the rising of the sun. Birds coo, chirp, and tweet in the background while cattle can be heard lowing in the distance. Earth is alive and well. #earth #sunrise #dawn #country
Atlantic Dawn
Soft twilight crept between the curtains to tickle my eyelids and entice me out on the baclony while on the way home from the Caribbean. Gold-burnished clouds hearlded the approaching sunrise which followed minutes later. Then, like someone hiding from view until they’ve had their morning coffee, the sun temporarily ducked behind the clouds, beforeContinue reading “Atlantic Dawn”
Morning Glory
The orange glow from the coming sunrise penetrated the trees to cast golden light through the transom window above the front door. This rare sight lasted just long enought for me to get a photo and then it was gone, but it will never be forgotten. #sunrise #dawn
Morning Moon
It was too good an opportunity to pass up, so I stopped on this morning’s walk to take this photo.

Now the glow of the rising sun has drowned outContinue reading “Morning Moon”
Rising Reflections
A beam from the rising sun once again poked through a window on the north side of the house and painted its reflection onto the wall for a brief moment. Slowly, the sun has been heading south since the solstice, and soon its playful fingers will no longer be able reach through this window toContinue reading “Rising Reflections”
By the Dawn’s Early Light
Horizontal rays from the Sun poked through gaps between other trees to brighten branches that seldom see direct sunlight. ‘Twas a happy thought to start the day. #sunrise #trees #sunlight
Hoodwinked
Willful winds rattled the rafters and sent sobs and sighs down the flue, but it could not dispirit the reflections of the rising sun that caressed the slopes of Mount Hood. Undaunted by the gale, the peak perched proudly along the horizon as if grinning, and for a moment, it even seemed to wink. #mounthoodContinue reading “Hoodwinked”
Salty Morning Sunrise
The sky was full of orange, blues, and subtle hues as the rising sun called the day to life during our morning walk. It inspired visions of Caribbean scenes that we have enjoyed in the past, and the warm moist air carried the feel of the sea. Perhaps it is time to schedule a cruiseContinue reading “Salty Morning Sunrise”
