sunrise thoughts 12 October 2015

There was a pinkish glow coming from the window across the room. I didn't get up to actually look out. Instead, I typed the following as my personal status on Facebook, put my shoes on & ran out the door.

"It's time for a sunrise walkabout... get ready for some gorgeous pictures."

Imagine my dismay when I walked outside to a very gray, cloudy sky with only
a tiny ribbon of pink on the horizon!! Despite that thin hot pink line, there wasn't a hint of "pretty" in the sky. But, I was dressed & ready to head out on a morning walkabout and hoping to catch some beautiful shots to share. So, I decided that (given the reminder from yesterday's post about perspective), I was going to look for & find something good to share.

I did some walking on foot & then jumped in my little yellow car to visit some of my favorite sites in the neighborhood. Although the sunrise didn't light up the sky with pinks, oranges, yellows & blues... I did manage to find a lot of beauty this morning. I had to go around & LOOK for it. But, by going out expecting something good... that's what I got! I've shared a few pictures below.

Look for something good every day! Some days you have to look a little harder. But, it's totally worth it!!

The cow pond is pretty dry!
And the sky is pretty dull -- still pretty!

The farmers are all heading out to the fields.

Loved the pink tint on the side
of a grain silo down the road.

A favorite spot - The old Perkinsville Cemetary

My favorite little angel at the cemetary

Had to swing by our favorite place -
