Sunday Morning, Scarlet Skies!
Let me be clear... I can't take credit for any of these photos. Yes, my camera, but I was still in bed when these photos were taken. I've admitted in other posts that I'm not much of a morning person, but I really missed out last Sunday! We were in 29 Palms in the California desert, and the approximate sequence of events were [1] my wife got out of bed, [2] she looked out the sliding glass door and let out an audible gasp and [3] quickly exited the bedroom. I stayed in bed just a while longer. The scarlet sky only lasted about 10 minutes at the most, and then the show was over. By the time I got out of bed, the colors were gone. All I can say is I'm glad my wife was up and quick with the camera, and she's got a good photographers eye!!

Gorgeous sky! Lovely colours!
ReplyDeleteI wish you a Happy Friday!
Fantastic captures - congrats to your wife and thanks for sharing. Lovely rich colours. Happy SWF!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sky. Almost to beautiful to be true but so is nature. Well done.
ReplyDeleteMarvellous colours!
ReplyDeleteFantastic sunrise, I am so glad your wife was no slug-a-bed.
ReplyDeleteThat window of time can be brief. Hats off to the Mrs. LOVELY! Hard to believe nature can provide us with something so beautiful.
ReplyDeletesuch beautiful colors! the desert is good for that!
ReplyDeleteWow! That's a real beautiful sky.
ReplyDeleteGlorious skies of amazing color and beautiful silhouettes! LOVE the cactus and windmill!
ReplyDeleteDang, she did good. I'm like you, not usually seeing the sun rise. Especially like the windmill thrown in.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful skies..love the windmill.
ReplyDeleteThese are incredible colors of the sky! They are so intense and vibrant at the same time.
ReplyDeleteoh my!!! hurray for wife!!!
ReplyDeleteThe Mrs. did good, real good. The deserts cannot be beat for sunrises and sunsets. I have a difficult time getting that across to people who have never been there to witness it for themselves.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous sky! What great foreground too.
ReplyDeleteYour wife did beautifully. I am not a morning person either (possibly has something to do with having insomnia and still being wide awake at 3am).
One day, I desperately want to capture a sunrise.
When your wife takes pics like that there really is no need to become a morning person, eh? Might I suggest taking her out to a nice brunch?
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos.
ReplyDeleteThe sky is fantastic.
Regards and best wishes
That sight would have made me gasp too. Such colours. - Margy
ReplyDeleteThose photos make be breathless....wow is an understatement!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThose colors in the sky you've captured are magnificent!
ReplyDeleteYou wife did a fantastic job capturing these.
ReplyDeleteWow, how lucky were you to be out there when the sky looked like that--absolutely stunning. Just look up to the sky for a great "show" night after night. Mickie ;)
ReplyDeleteI've always loved the glorious colors of sunrise. These are spectacular. Kudos to your wife for being an early riser.
ReplyDeleteShe does indeed have a good eye (and an understanding of how to use the camera, as I would guess she changed the camera's default exposure to capture these so well). Awesome!
ReplyDeleteShe'll be wanting her own camera next.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful
ReplyDeleteWow! I'd be angry if I stayed in bed and missed *that*....those pictures are absolutely stunning!
ReplyDeleteI guess! She sure hit the jackpot with that dawn! These are stunning. Love the tiny windmill sillouhetted in the distance in a couple of these photos.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog! I will cruise around your blog a little bit later today. Great sunset pics!
ReplyDeleteLovely. I like sunsets but favor sunrises.
ReplyDeleteYour wife captured the sunrise beautifully. I especially like the windmill in the middle two and then in the last pic how the ground is softly glowing.
ReplyDeleteThose colours are amazing!!! I love the compositions with the windmill and trees and foliage in the foreground silhouette. Your wife uses your camera very well.
ReplyDeleteWhat a superlative of a sunrise! Thank you to your wife for getting up and capturing this series.
