Tuesday, August 16, 2022 Sunrise Clouds

We had a beautiful sunrise last week and once again I ran out with my camera to catch it, only to find that the camera just didn’t see the colors the way I did. No doubt there are some knobs and settings that could align my vision and the camera’s, but I haven’t found them yet.

We were on our way to an early Bible study so I gathered up some sunrise cloud photos on the way.

I’m still reading through the gigantic tome of Emily Dickinson’s poems and have come across quite a few having to do with sunrises and sunsets, clearly a favorite theme (besides death and dying, that is). I wanted to share part of a poem with you, so you could see the sunrise like Emily does, without having to do anything about knobs and settings.

I’ll tell you how the Sun rose –
A Ribbon at a time –
The Steeples swam in Amethyst –
The news, like Squirrels, ran –
The Hills untied their Bonnets –
The Bobolinks – begun –
Then I said softly to myself –
“That must have been the Sun”!

And that, my friends, must have been my Blog Post!
