Almost missed this

The return to Standard Time from Daylight Saving Time always comes at a welcome time for me, usually around the end of soccer season and the end of the election season when I am ready for a break.  This year I was also battling a nasty cold coming into the weekend, so I was really looking forward to the extra hour of sleep.

Unfortunately, my cat, Nutmeg, didn't get the memo and was doing everything she could to get some attention from me early this morning.  As I attempted to keep my eyes open, I noticed my bedroom curtain had a strange orange hue to it--it's white.  It then occurred to me that maybe we were having a colorful sunrise.

So I slowly rolled out of bed and looked outside.  What I saw instantly energized me and I grabbed my camera and headed outside to capture what had to be one of the most amazing sunrises I have seen in quite a while...



I should add that I shot this with my point and shoot.  I left the card reader for my "real" camera at work, so I will have to post the photo I did with it later.

goo, goo g'joob

And here is the image from my "real" camera:
