Shortly before sunrise a few weeks ago.

Softly lit.

On a marvellous late winter morning, this tin barn was softly lit by pre-sunrise light, with the moon setting above it. I was blessed to come across this scene.

Tucked in.

Lucy, tucked in for an afternoon snooze.

Briefly

.The sun briefly appeared this morning between horizon and clouds.

Lucy, at rest.

Much loved Lucy.

Wondrously, marvellously.

A recent sunrise set the sky wondrously, marvellously, spectacularly, beautifully, ablaze.

Red sky at morning . . .

. . . sailor take warning.

The old saying certainly held true for non-sailors in southwest Ontario this week. After this lovely and marvellous Monday morning sunrise, the rest of the week was cloudy, rainy, chilly, with snow and ice melting and rivers rising.

Welcome to my first post of the new year. Let me know what you think!

Another view of the sunrise shown on the previous post. This one taken a few minutes earlier.

Glory.

The glory of a sunrise announces the beginning of another day. I am very glad to have broken my routine to witness it, and to share it with you.

A glorious sunrise, shared with you.

Glow.

A recent sunset made the clouds glow. I like how the trees lean into the image, framing the scene.
