Ellie has started conditioning for AHS volleyball next school year. The workouts are early morning. While waiting for her to come out I wandered over to the nearby football field as the sun was just coming up. I couldn’t fit everything into the photo even with my ultra-wide angle lens so this is a photomerge of two wide-angle photos.
Go Grizzlies!
I love waking up in the morning to look out the window and see what kind of magic is happening. Every day the scene is different. Some aren’t spectacular, but a surprisingly large number of days are. Today’s photo is from yesterday morning. I took this after the sunrise, which wasn’t as amazing as it sometimes is, but the clouds, sun rays, and brand new leaves on the trees made this one special.
The California/Oregon border is a lovely place at 7 in the morning in October.
Christmas 2011 sunrise from Ashland, Oregon
What a better way to start the new year than with a stellar sunrise? This is actually the sunrise we had on Christmas morning.
Sunrise with fall colors at Ashland Cemetery
Sunday morning I went to a few locations in the morning to take some photos while the sun was still low in the sky. The Ashland Cemetery is such a lovely place, especially this time of year.
Sunrise over Mt. Shasta from Mt. Ashland
Last weekend the conditions were right for an early morning trip up Mt. Ashland. The snow on Mt. Ashland had melted, I figured there would still be snow left on Mt. Shasta, the skies were mostly clear, and I couldn’t sleep. There was also a nice halo around the moon so I hopped in the car and drove on up for an early morning adventure.
We get lots of foggy sunrises in the winter and spring seasons. This one is from yesterday. There probably won’t be many more in the next 8 months. I like ’em, in part, because no two are the same.
I’m a morning person. So even though no one else was close to being up on our only morning in Brookings last week, I went out for a walk on the beach. According to the tide tables, this was to be the lowest tide of the month. Compared to the day before at high tide (in which we couldn’t even make it to the beach due to the high water level), this was a completely different scene. There was more beach than I could imagine. The last 100 feet or so of beach consisted of sand that didn’t appear to ever get dry. Even though the Pacific Ocean was still a ways out there, my shoes (and not just the bottoms) got wet in this super low-tide stuff. The sand was so wet, still, that it reflected the sky and made for a nice picture. I’m not sure if I like the dog running into the corner of the picture or not.
I have shown you a picture from this location on this November morning before, but I think I like the sky in this version a little more.
Our “false spring” of the past few weeks appears to be over. After at least a dozen days in the past three weeks of 50 degrees or more, including one or two that went over 60 degrees, it may be a while before we see 50 degrees again.
