Looked out the window this morning at 6:45 to see a gorgeous sky. Wide pink stripe, steely blue-gray background, a trail of puffy white clouds. Threw on some clothes, raced downstairs and out the back door to catch these last freezing moments before sunrise.
In the couple of minutes it took to do this, the pink stripe vanished and the blue-gray became blue. But the neighborhood was still, the scene placid. I shot this picture and stood there enjoying it all.
Some Canada geese streamed by overhead and were instantly gone, their honking now replaced by the sudden sound of cars roaring through the stop sign at the corner. Personally, I prefer geese.
