Sunrise Sequence, a November Morning


A November Morning

Get up.
Take dogs out. Misty on lead.
See sunrise.
Wish I'd brought my camera.
Wish Misty would hurry up with her business.
Take dogs in.
Hope nothing changes until I get back outdoors.
Grab the camera.
Run back outdoors.
Take photos of this spectacular sunrise.

***

By the way, this is the first time I have joined Vee's Notecard Party. Check it out!

And since we're all thinking about Thanksgiving, I just wanted to mention that I am so grateful to God for our home and family and friends and such glorious sunrises (and sunsets) AND the fact that our ground is not yet covered in snow. Every single day without snow shortens our winter.





And of course, all these shots were only a few minutes apart.

But what a special treat to have this beautiful start to my day.

Sunrise reflected on the new and not-quite-finished wraparound porch
I'm so tempted to put no railings or knee-walls up.

  1. What a gorgeous landscape! How can a day go wrong when it starts like this? Your porch is full of drama the way it is. I understand the impulse to leave it as is. I can't imagine having one like it either way. So exotic to these parts. So glad you came by! Yes, I am loving my new napkin rings! :0)

    I grabbed the camera and ventured out on the porch this morning to photograph a sunrise too - in my robe! Eeek, I hope nobody was watching the crazy lady...

  6. Absolutely BEAUTIFUL Sunrise!!
    Red in the morning - sailors take warning ????
    Red at night - sailors delight!
    What is also so lovely about your shots is that when there is enough light - everything is frosted over!! Lovely!! Thank you for sharing!! Do hope you don't the terrible storms that have been hitting Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio!!

  7. Beautiful! This morning is also a wonderful morning, though I didn't get up early enough to see the sunrise! A nice frosty morning with clear blue skies. So nice after all the gloom.

  9. Your sunrise photos are gorgeous and make perfect notecards. I love your wrap around porch and don't think I'd put railings up either. It's just a step down so no danger of anyone getting hurt. Have a great week ahead.

  17. How beautiful to sit on that spanking new porch and view that sunrise -- or sunset on the other side? Your soul must be refreshed every time you sit there --or look out a window ...

  24. Your photos of today's sunrise are glorious. Bet your day started on a happy note. I agree with you no rails on the porch, if your homeowners insurance allows it.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Oh, that was a glorious sunrise! And amazing that each shot was mere minutes apart. I suppose that shows how much we miss when we don't linger to watch.

    Now to nose around your blog a bit...

  32. Just beautiful! Railings should probably be as see-through as possible to still maintain safety! Gorgeous porch!

    ReplyDelete
  33. The photos are breathtaking! I would like to spend some time in a rocking chair on the porch.

    Smiles,

  35. Beautiful photos, and that porch is amazing. I'd think twice about a railing, too! =)

    ReplyDelete
  36. Beautiful sunrises do not get much better than this...awesome...thank you Lord! And I would take the suggestion from one of your followers and made note cards. You could give them to your friends...like me. :)

  37. What incredible skies! Lovely choices for the Notecard Party. Glad you joined in on the fun.

  38. Your photos are definitely the skies that note cards are made of. Stunning, I'm so glad you were quick enough to grab your camera.
    I'm envious of your wrap around porch, if it isn't too high off the ground, I'd leave it like that too.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Beautiful note cards!! Nothing like pointing the camera toward the sky. I also love your porch, I'm jealous. I'd leave it the way it is.

  43. What a beautilul light... I love the last one

    ReplyDelete
  44. So much to be thankful for including real blog friends and glorious colours to look at.
    On a side note, I'm finding at the moment that using the light or alternatively the associated shadows such as your patio shot, promotes the picture into a higher league. Nice one.
