I was so bored by us having to dissect (every year, it seemed) the ancient Greek classic The Odyssey. The translator gushed about "rosy fingered dawns".
Never did I realize that, one day, I would love sunrises and sunsets.
Like this sunrise yesterday. It was about 18 degrees outside, and my fingers did not want to be exposed to the cold. Nevertheless, the beauty finally got my courage (and heat) up, and out my cam...I mean, phone came.
This isn't the first of the series. A couple of the photos came out so blurry you couldn't see anything. It's a problem I'm seeming to have more and more with my iPhone SE.
As I walked along, I enjoyed the view.
These three Bradford Pears patiently awaited the sunrise.
I couldn't wait any longer, but the sun was getting ready to make its appearance.
What a show!

It was well worth the effort. You have produced a fine series of pictures.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sunrises - amazing how our perspective changes in life!
ReplyDeleteIt’s beautiful
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day!
I always loved the sunsets and sunrises. It's what I miss about not living near the Shenandoah National Park (the view from the mountains was astounding) or the daily morning commute along the Virginia countryside on the Southern Crescent.
ReplyDeleteBreathtaking beautiful...so cloudy here, sigh...looks like the rain will be incoming sooner than later, sigh.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't interested in sunrises or sunsets in high school either, sunrises mostly because it was my goal not to be awake then. Although the most beautiful one I've seen was in Israel, and that memory stays with me.
ReplyDeleteAs always, I'm grateful to be seeing these views through your eyes.
You are a dedicated blogger, out there freezing your fingers with your IPhone SE. Great photos, well worth it.
ReplyDeleteMy iPhone is an SE and I love it but it is kind of showing its age.
Beautiful sky.
ReplyDeleteThese are really gorgeous shots. Hard for me to imagine taking pictures with a temp of only 18 degrees! Rosy fingered sunrise is a perfect description.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful! I so appreciate your frost-nipped fingers and nose as you stood outside in the freeing cold!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty. Too bad your phone is acting up. We can't tell from these pictures.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sunrises. I'm never up early enough to see them.
ReplyDeleteHow gorgeous!
