When I first arrived in the River Bottoms this morning, the moon was right up there basking in the beauty of the sun coming up.
This is why I take my camera with me when I ride.
It changes by the minute.
There's that red ball on the horizon that we call the sun!
Good morning, sunshine.
Now you know I couldn't resist including a shot of the mighty Missouri River, which seemed fuller today. Either there is rain up north, or they've opened up something and turned more water loose (they do that, you know).
I was thinking, as I rode, that if people had to travel a thousand miles to see a pretty sunrise or sunset... if it weren't an almost everyday occurrence... we'd all be saving our money to go have a look at this miraculous sight. But because it's with us so much, we miss its beauty by taking it for granted.
We've had some gems 'round here. My living room windows face east so, I get to see the sunrise right from the penthouse.
ReplyDeleteThen too, there are those of us who 'snore' through the morning sunrise every day, ain't that a darned shame? Can't remember seeing one since the day of my retirement ... I've become so lazy! Not happy with myself, but lazy I am! I so admire your enthusiasm for living LIFE! Have a wonderful weekend. Judy

I can understand how the river pulls you to it, it is so beautiful, mysterious, and strong all at the same time.

That is so true and it's ashamed that you don't learn that until you get older. I constantly try to show my grandson the sun, moon and stars. He loves to look for them now. The colors in that sunrise are breathtaking. Just beautiful. Thanks for catching it and sharing with us.
ReplyDeleteTake care, Chrissie

Those are breathtaking pictures. I love them. Where we used to live it was not open enough to see a sunrise on a horizon. When we went to the Atlantic coast in Florida I was up every morning before light to meet the sunrise...I loved it. Now that we live where it is open I can see the sunrise almost as well as seeing it come up over water..and I never tire of it...it is so beautiful to me.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures.
