Officially, the sunrise today occurred at 5:32 a.m. CST. These photos were taken at approximately 5:50 and 6:00 a.m. CST, looking in a northeasterly direction. As you can see, the lucky ol' sun had to work its way through a blanket of clouds before breaking into open sky.

If I survive turning 50 today I will try to snap a photo of this evening's sunset and post it forthwith.

If you have a hankering to take a gander at many lovely sky scenes today, then visit Wiggers World blog from the U.K. for the weekly Sky Watch Friday, which contains links to sky scenes from around the world!

Hi, Ruth!
Thank you! Have a wonderful day!
This is a wonderful shade of red. Aren't the colors of nature spectacular?
Happy birthday!!!!!!
I LOVE the picture with your kids. Ah, I remember those days. I look back on them so fondly but I've enjoyed every stage of my kids growing up so I don't wish myself back there.
Its like a postcard from Paradise... dreamy.
Nice weekend from Norway.
great colors, well done.
Beautiful photos of the solstice sunrise. I like the idea of Hayhenge. Maybe hubby could be talked into storing your hay bales in such a pattern. I'll come sit with you anytime and look at your wonderful skies.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
