Desert Sunrise 27 Sept 2016
I really have to share this with all of you. It’s not often I’m up to see the sunrise but
I’ve had to get up earlier than I would like lately due to work. A lot of the time it’s still dark outside and
me, being the night owl I am, I’m trying to shake the cobwebs out of my head.

Anyway, once I did make my way to the kitchen to start the
coffeepot, I saw all this early morning color blasting through my window
shades. I peeked out and had to grab the
camera and step out onto the patio in my skimpy PJ’s. I couldn’t let this shot pass me by. No one lives behind us anyway and if they did,
who would want to look at an old lady.
What other idiot would be up at this hour also went through my
head. Most of my neighbors are retired.

Of course the old verse red
sky in the morning, sailors take warning crossed my mind as well, but I
don’t know any sailors. I stood in awe
looking at all this beauty and snapping pictures in a panorama across the
backyard. Finally, I went back into the
house so I could get my coffee and get ready for work. That old clock never stops ticking, you
know. We don’t often get a sunrise this
pretty. Most of our skies like this are
sunsets. I guess getting my four hours
of sleep was worth it that morning.
