This first one looked a small sun pillar, a column of light going straight up, but directly behind a tree. I had to go and find another window to look through.
This one was actually quite brilliant at first...
but as the sun got close to rising, the colour faded...
until the sun poked above the horizon behind the shed, and then the sky just turned grey.
This last one was the best colour, well before sunrise, but it completely disappeared and the sky turned grey as quickly as we've ever seen. One moment in looked like this, and the next it was grey. We never did see the sun until much later.

Gorgeous photos!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, and that fleeting moment or two when the sky is a brilliant pinky-purple, magical.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sunrises, however long they lasted. :-)
ReplyDeleteYou get the most amazing sunrises, so happy you were awake to capture them for us!! What a shame they don't last longer!!
ReplyDeletePaper whites grow indoors here in New Jersey, mine our in my family room, at the sliding door. You can see the deck through the window!!
Nice soft pastel colors on those first two photos.
ReplyDeleteSunrise brings hope to people. Happy Friday.

Beautiful skies and so beautifully captured. I popped over here from Skywatch Friday. Have a great day. Greetings Jo (South Africa)
ReplyDeleteSo what you're showing is that each sunrise is spectacular in it's own beauty.
ReplyDeleteWow - lovely skies!
ReplyDeleteBecause of tall Goat Island to the east, our sunrises are always around 9:00 in the morning. As actual sunrise gets earlier, the sun has to climb higher up the mountainside to rise from our cabin's position. If it wasn't for the late sunrise, I probably would always miss it. - Margy
ReplyDeleteHello, gorgeous series of sunrise captures. The last tow photos are my favorite, lovely colors. Happy Friday, enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteI have better opportunity for sunsets because sunrise is behind trees that are tucked close to my yard. Either way they do paint the skies with magic.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! That first photo is my favorite...so charming!
ReplyDeleteI love to watch the sunrise and like Margy ours has to come over the hill behind us so it is later than the projected time advertised. Beautiful and fleeting.

That's your reward for getting up early. I really like photo no. 3.
ReplyDeleteStew as beautiful as those Sunrises are you would never get tired of the Sunrises in the Desert. You've got to try it some day.
ReplyDeleteBe Safe and Enjoy!
It's about time.
They are all beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBeing a "morning person" I do love my sunrises. Thanks for sharing yours....:)
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had just the right mix of clouds at the right moment. Beautiful shots!
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful ...
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
