Dawn and sunrise this morning, Aug 11th, from Buck Hill!

There was a period of a minute or so this morning when the high clouds lit up in spectacular color.

Well, I finally remembered to set up the #dawn #timelapse on my deck. The goal is to capture the way the light hits the mountains in hillsides as the sun breaks over the horizon and climbs into the sky. You can just about see sunlight on the snow covered peaks about 3/4 of the way to The left side of the photo here. Those are the enchantments in the foothills of the cascades. They usually get the first light. (1/2)

I sense some #SilentSunday shots.

There's nothing to reflect off, the color will fizzle out, but I can't risk turning away, this is the best part of the day. #Dawn #Twilight
I'll be around

I send thanks to the buyer from Florida who purchased an art print of

It's still too early to call it, but I'm at the point where I have to decide how badly I want another cup of caffeine?
Because every time I get downstairs something happens. #Dawn #Ocean #Clouds #Twilight
Also, it's light enough to wake my saucy crows.
