SkyWatch ~ Ten Minutes of Wonder

Another of those coldish mornings where getting out of bed

seems a drag and I really wanted to turn over and close my

optics a while longer. It definitely did not seem promising but,

one has to get something for skywatch, right?

Less than a minute later the sky came alive

as the fire burst forth and took over,

burning so fiercely that I almost wanted to flee. The flames

engulfing the clouds above and turning the whole landscape

rose red.

To the south there was a golden haze with touches of pink

in the east, it became apparent where the golden fleece originated

and the trees were a blood red. The whole show, and I have

30 shots to prove it, lasted just ten minutes.

What better way to see the year out than another spectacular sunrise?

Wishing everyone a wonder full 2012, may you all stay safe and healthy

and retain the eyes of a child as you click your way through the year!
