Breakfast Delayed, for Skywatch

Beez was looking into the kitchen the other morning to see how the homemade muffins were coming along. All he found was an empty room, a half-assembled batter, and a swinging screen door. Stepping out onto the porch, he saw me scampering down the road to get the best shot of this glorious sunrise. 



The differences are subtle, but here is the same scene, a moment later...




By the way, the muffins were delicious.  For skies from all times of the day and night, and from all over the world, be sure to visit Skywatch Friday.

  16. We all have to do whatever it takes to capture the sky when we can. It changes so fast. You did a super job capturing these two versions.

  18. Chores must wait when such a sight presents itself.
    As for my Mono Lake sunset, it is spooky. I almost wish I had waited for the end of October to post it.
