Sunrise – Page 3 – Eskildoodle Photos and Feelings

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

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”

Full Dawn

Faint dawn twilight began to brighten the bedroom as I rolled over to snooze just a few minutes more. “Don’t they pick up yard waste today?” said a distant voice that somehow crept into my consciousness. Oooohhh! Yep, I had to get up and get the containers to the street before they came to pickContinue reading “Full Dawn”

The Front in the Back

The morning light fairies were at it again. My wife, who was facing the back window, said: Look at the reflection of the front doorway window. I looked and saw nothing. She told me to stand where she was at her eye-level, and there it was like a bright, sun-burnished sprite. Minutes later it wasContinue reading “The Front in the Back”

Spring Light Sunrise

Fingers of sunrise seem to poke and prod from curious directions as the Sun moves northward towards spring, making the days longer. Here it sparkles in window decorations above the door and casts tinted light on the adjacent wall. Another free, morning delight. #sunrise #spring #windows #sunlight

Red In the Morning, Tornado Warning?

“Red in the morning, sailor take warning” applies to landlubbers as well. Our morning walk was cut short by rain precipitated by an approaching cold front. A short time later the rising Sun briefly painted the sky red, and the weather radio warned of a tornado watch for the area until 4 PM. Soon theContinue reading “Red In the Morning, Tornado Warning?”

Sunrise Surprise

As the Sun proceeds south in its autumn plunge towards winter, it sometimes briefly projects surprising designs through the windows onto the opposite walls. We never know what may appear next with these ephemeral luminary adventures. #sunrise #autumn #winter

The Company You Keep

It was fun watching the Moon duck in and out of the clouds in the western sky while the Sun rose in the east recently. The football-shaped Moon was clearly marked with dark lava flows across its brilliant face as it headed towards last quarter. Without the white clouds, however, the auto exposure of theContinue reading “The Company You Keep”

No Time for iPhones and Earbuds

The harvest Moon and Jupiter peered between clouds through a slot in the trees. A nearby owl hooted as we walked the deserted street. Cicadas, commonly called katydids, buzzed out their morning song as the dawn brightened and burnished clouds with an orange glow. Birds awoke to serenade us with their chirping, singing, and cawing,Continue reading “No Time for iPhones and Earbuds”
