Sunrise in Raleigh

One of the best I've seen here. I had a hunch it would be spectacular, so poor Snowy had to wait for me to take her out. She was such a good girl!

This was the view from my balcony from about 6:40 am until the sun rose at 7:22 am.

I think it's Venus and Jupiter visible in the first photo.

The clouds/sky were more pink and blue to the north of the sunrise

We have been experiencing similar out here in this art of Montana. I love the first one because you can see Venus and Jupiter. I get up for that every morning right now.

I start off with a grin and an appreciation for the natural beauty in our world when I get to experience a sunrise like this.

Much needed these days.

As did space, with the two planets. Beautiful. You captured it nicely!

We are socked in with rain for at least another five days.
