Sunrise - Sunset 12-30-22

Being a night owl I don't often see a sunrise.  And I obviously am not good at taking pictures at that time of day.  But the sky was brilliant one morning last week and I was up at 6am or so.  These two recent pictures are from my back slider looking east over the patio homes that are at a lower level.  

Sunsets in my life have always been plentiful.  

Sunset from front porch

Another from front porch.

This is from a few doors down, also looking east, of course!

Naturally the very best sunsets are looking out over the Pacific. 

The desert offers fantastic sunrises and sunsets like this one near Tucson.

Not my picture - maybe Sherrie Spangler?

This is my original sunset made years ago.  About 36" wide.

Traveling again 10-11-18

I frequently see sunsets and take far too many pictures of them, but I am a night owl and rarely see sunrises, usually when traveling and out on the road early.  

Sunset along I-5 in California's central valley - Tuesday 10-09-18

I drove north to Redding, CA, to deliver some of Toni's stuff to the people collecting quilts and quilting supplies for those quilters burned out of their homes in the horrific summer fires.  The next morning I was up and on the road early because I had an appointment in Pacific Grove at 10:30am.

Sunrise south of Sacramento - Thursday, 10-11-18

I saw three Sandhill Cranes flying off from a field in this dawn's early light, a thrill for this old birder.  I wish I had time to visit one of the wildlife refuges because this is peak crane season.   Next trip?

Sunrise and Corky w/his "Dingo" bone

Yes, it was a momentous occasion, I was up before the sun came up. It wasn't all that spectacular, just pretty.

Corky likes some chew bones called "Dingos" and carries one all around his Long Beach house. he hides it somewhere and then later goes all around looking for it. But he rarely eats it.

When he has one at Camp Del he will hide it for a couple hours and then dig it up again and proceed to eat the entire thing, unless i steal part of it and place it somewhere he cannot find it. I'll give it back to him tomorrow and he will eat the rest of the bone'. He holds it upright in his paws, just like a monkey would. Silly little guy!
