I took some pics this morning of a nice sunrise, then went back to a cd and found some unbelievable pics of a midwinter sunrise a few years ago. I just want to share this incredible lightshow with you.

Enjoy
June 23 early morning I was in AWE and took so many pictures of this natural wonder. Here are just a few.

This is a native plant , with the english name :" Speargrass" it is very sharp and hurts when walking into it

some more june 23 sunrise pics ,

Did you have rough seas that day? or since it's the southern hemisphere does that saying not apply?

my grandmother and great-grandmother were both exceptional artists and every time i look at a sunrise or sunset i wonder if God lets them have a turn at painting the sky - yep i think this is what artists in heaven get to do! absolutely beautiful!

Absolutely surreal. And Tom stole my word. Breathtaking. After staring open mouthed for a while you have to remember to breath. cookie

Those are beautiful, Jack!

I can't remember the last time I was up early enough to catch the sunrise. I am not a morning person - at least not that early in the morning! But here's some of a foggy Texas morning

And a Texas sunset

Don't get me started on sunsets!

I have hundreds of them!

And this makes us go OUCH! when we bump into it! It does have a heart though!

What a gorgeous display of colors ... and thank you everyone for submitting the photo's!

Enjoy,

I have seen paintings in the sky, created by the hands of GOD.

If I were a cat and there was snow on the ground, that's where I'd be! Llana, I made a collage of "Texas Sunsets" for my father for his birthday after he moved to GA. It's hanging on the wall, but the GA sunsets are every bit as glorious. My Mom told me that, shotrly after they moved here from TX they were out on thier deck watching an incredibly beautiful sunset (they have a magnificent western view) my Dad said "Nan would love this. She's going to move up here one day."
And I did ;D

Jack, profound photos. Absolutely wonderful shots. THose cats have definitely found a nice warm place to roost, at least they won't have to dig themselves out after a snow.
It seems the beauty of each place is tempered with an item to watch out for. Spear plants prickley pear, brown recluse, pygmy rattlers. Cockroaches four inches long.
Hey, those shots are great! Both down there, and over there.
I got to see the arroyo cactus in bloom this year. That was a first! Got to see the desert in bloom. Wonderful. Lots of yellow flowers. Happens for one day, once in a while. I was lucky.
Wonderful shots.

In the beginning was the Floyd, and the Floyd was with Him, and He was with the Floyd. Syd Barret just disappeared, right after the happening. Lita Ford drives a suburban! Big Hair Heavy Metal is dead. Oh weeping and gnashing of teeth, the end is near. The answer is 42. 42! BING! BIG BING!
