The Big Winner

Just to Start the Day

At last a photo of Sunrise I can really brag about.   The other morning I was awakened by much too much light in my bedroom, forgetting I had left the blind up and the window open the night before to maximize any bit of breeze I could capture on a humid and hot night.

As soon as I realized why the room was so ORANGE, I jumped into jeans and a shirt, grabbed my camera, and dog (couldn't let her whine over being alone at 4:45 now could I?) and rushed out the door to catch what promised to be a glorious sunrise. 

Well it was, and a double prize winner at that.  This won a Flickr  award for "INTERESTINGNESS" on May 28, and to top that, was chosen to be shown on Global Television on May 30th.  Imagine my pleasure when it was also chosen winner for the week. 

I can expect the "Coveted Ball Point Pen" according to Wayne Cox in the next day or two in the mail.   Click on the Flickr Montage (right) to see more of my photographs. CLICK ON ANY IMAGE HERE FOR A LARGER VIEW. Use your back button to return.
