Sunrise panoramas and snowy landscapes...


Early Friday morning we had a bright sunrise over the foothills. I was able to capture some of the colors in stages with my camera.



The pink hues as they began to fill the eastern sky...



This picture was taken a moment or two after the sky shone with the most vivid display of colors. The clouds were moving and changing color so quickly, I wasn't able to merge a perfect panorama of the brightest moment - ah! :)



A close up of the tiny branches of a nut tree against the morning sky. Oh how sweet!



As the sun rose higher in the sky, the sunrise faded to pastels.



A blueish winter scene replaced our bright sunrise.



On Saturday we spotted four days worth of little footprints made by wildlife on our neighbor's golfing range. I think these are mostly rabbit tracks, although maybe there were deer out there too.



Yesterday's sunrise behind a hedgerow of trees... Soft, purplish clouds with golden highlights blanketed the eastern sky. What a scene to welcome a new day - Good Morning!



Can you see the two critters in this picture? The blue jays & squirrels are so active outside our home every morning. They are always scurrying around looking for something - leaping, climbing, hopping and flying from here to there. They are so much fun to watch, but so hard to photograph!



A fox near her den. Well, I'm assuming it's a she...



This morning's sunrise around 7 a.m. I love the stands of clouds filtered through with rays of sunshine. What a glorious scene, what a glorious Creator we have! I hope you are having a wonderful week, filled with blessings and peace in Christ! God bless, Danielle
