Utah Bob #35998 Posted November 23 Share Posted November 23 I woke up early this morning and I could tell by the quality of light filtering through the blinds that something good was afoot. I leapt out of bed (well, as close as I can come to a leap) grabbed the phone off the nightstand and sprinted for the back door. (Some would call my sprint a stiff-legged gait but in my mind it was quite cat-like) There I was, buck nekkid old man (one advantage of country living) in the 36°morning chill, gazing at a fine western sunrise. I had managed to jump into a pair of warm slippers before opening the door. Sunrises and sunsets are fleeting things. But I had no time to properly prepare. The real camera gear was still in the bag so I turned on the new phone and hoped for the best. I only had a few moments to get a couple of shots before the sky turned to an uninteresting grey semi overcast. I'm now warming up my chilled body parts and making coffee. Good morning America. 10 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I occasionally get up early enough to watch an Eastern sunrise, and sometimes am still awake long enough to watch a Western sunset. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Gun Barney, SASS #2428 Posted November 23 Share Posted November 23 Bob, Thanks for the beautiful photos. And, we should all send good thoughts for the poor little critters who witnessed the nekked photographer! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpo Posted November 23 Share Posted November 23 I'm just amazed at the warm temperature. 36° in the mountains of Colorado? It was 40 here in the panhandle of Florida. 16 I would have expected. Maybe even 06. But 36? Isn't that normally a summer temperature up there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it’s dropped to 32 and snowing right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
