The Happily Everafter Part....

As with most things in life...there is a morning after. Christmas Day is no exception. But I do have to say that this is one of the more spectacular "morning
afters" I can remember. I was up about 7 and it was still quite dark outside. By the time I had eaten my orange, and the coffee was done, I spied this "beginning" to our new day.
The time between the pictures is just a minute or two, except the last one. That one I took about 30 minutes later..after I had drunk that first cup of hot,fresh coffee...truly a joy!
It's spectuacular enough to be a sunrise or a sunset, isn't it? I'm mostly NOT a sunrise person, it only happens because my normal time for getting up is 7. And in these darkest, shortest days of winter I get to see sunrises. My townhouse unit faces north east. So the sun comes up off to the right of my unit on the short days of the year.
It's all very confusing about N~S~E and W, because the highway runs straight past . So you would think the directions would be straight. But the road's placement is deceptive. The little white you see is on the rooves of houses( across the street)is frost. We haven't even the tinest speck of snow anywhere..LOL. What a year! I hope everyone had a lovely holiday yesterday and is healthy, happy and financially sound..*G* I had a dr. appointment today, hopefully the last for awhile. By the time I went,those clouds had given way to sunshine. I'm going to jump right back into my "broken dishes" block, and see what happens next. Posted by Picasa

What beautiful pictures, Finn! I am definitely not a morning person, so I've missed most of the sunrises... but seen some wonderful moon-rises and constellations instead!

During the winter, Orion and his belt are just over my house, as I walk back from the mailbox. :)
