SkyWatch ~ A Gentle Sunrise

Softly growing light gently paints the morning sky,

















softening the colours further as the sun rises.










Meanwhile in the west, the moon only thinks of her nice warm
bed beyond the horizin.

    What a glorious view to wake up to. I always like your sunrises and gentle words Arija. Hope you're getting some good rain.

    Yes Arija I think that is the thing about sunrises - they are usually so much more gentle than sunsets. Lovely shots.

    You have an amazing blog and life. I've just read the last three posts. The gift to your granddaughter couldn't be more special. I wish we were neighbors so you could teach me how to knit. I've tried it on my own but decided that I require a mentor. I'm a hopeless fumble-fingers when it comes to any kind of sewing or needle work! Thanks for the visit to my blog.

    They are all beautiful, Arija. I love the sky stripes in the first one, silhouettes in the second and moon in the last.
