It was a beautiful way for me to start the day. I had a sleepless night – bad dreams, and when I looked at the alarm clock, it was 5:30 a.m. I looked out of the bedroom and saw a beautiful cloud opening over the pasture. First light, I thought, I could catch it. I got up, ran outside, pulled my bathroom on, and got my feet into slippers. It was cold, but the sky was beginning to show itself, and I was mesmerized. I pulled up a chair and sat for more than half an hour. I didn’t feel the cold until I got inside. Here’s a photo album of my search for the first light, as it happened, starting with what I saw while lying in bed. It got me running.
First Sighting
Second sky.
The sky was gothic
The sky suddenly turned blue.
The sun began to show itself over the Green Mountains.
I loved this morning; it was full of beauty, nature, and real life. I might have to get some firemen’s jackets if I’m going to run out there and sit. When I got to the house, Zip was waiting for me; of course, I forgot to feed him.
Oh wow, Jon! These pics are beautiful, I can’t choose a favorite, though the first one through the bedroom window might be! It’s amazing what there is to see when we go outside in the early morning light.
