Predawn Clouds through the Pines

Photo of the Day 93/365

I took this photo on my last day of work (this past Tuesday), but it was too early for the actual sunrise. I liked the deep reds and faint oranges and golds just coming up through the pine trees. These trees are at a tree farm, where the trees are mostly used for Christmas trees. I will likely not get another predawn or sunrise shot for some time as I'm enjoying my time "sleeping in."

Friday Nature: I took this photo on my first day of retirement. I'm working to try to walk more at different times of the day. My first day of freedom was warm, and the clouds were wandering by. There were bouts of sun and shade, and some blue sky and some clouds. Trees and bushes are greening up, and spring is definitely on the way.

Sunset and Field Grass Photo of the Day 335/365 I took this photo over the Thanksgiving Holiday (here in the states). I was out for a very short sunset walk. I really wanted to catch the sunset itself, this time, so I left a little early. In reality, I left a little too early and it was a little cold, but I managed to hold and and try to get some good images. I really like how this one came out. I like the sunshine hitting the grass and the streaming clouds. It looks alot warmer than it was.

Reds in the Sky before the Dawn Photo of the Day 24/365 I had been hoping for a nice sunrise yesterday morning but there was a huge sweeping bank of clouds right where the sunrise would be. But as I looked closer, I saw the pinds and reds at the horizon and thought that if I cold make them the focus, I could get a good photo. I tried to frame that part of the sky with a nearby tree and I think I got what I wanted.

 Streamers in the Dawn Sky Photo of the Day 241/365 I found this scene on the way to work yesterday morning. As the days move on in the year, the sun rises earlier and earlier. The sun was actually higher in the sky than I'd like for a sunrise photo, but I zoomed out to the widest setting I had so that the sun would appear lower in the sky, and the streaming clouds would reach up into the blue. I really like how this image came out!
