Sky Watch Friday~Sunrise New Mexico


Sometimes our Manx cat, Javalina joins me to welcome the day.I'm a Night Owl, so it's a rare sunrise that gets to see my sleepy face. But we've been getting some gorgeous sunrises lately. They are saturated with color and full of joy.
It's a glorious way to start the day. Good Morning New Mexico!!!
To see more photos of beautiful skies, visit Sky Watch Friday!!

I'm more of a night creature myself and usually I'm inside a building when the sun rises when I'm working....but every now and then I experience one and wonder how I could not get up to take in each day at sunrise!
Beautiful morning pics!

OHHH, so thats what the morning sun looks like, I had forgotten, I haven't got up that early in a long time. When I was working, I always caught it in my rearview mirror. Now I try to be in bed before it rises...LOL
Lovely photo's

I'm a night owl myself so seeing the sunrise anywhere is a wonder, and this is exceptional. Just lovely.

This is an excellent sunrise series, but of course I particularly like the one with the kitty. ;-}

Andrea said...

I love that first shot!! Amazing! And I am not sure I have seen the sun rise that beautiful in a long time! Great shots!!

Pony Girl said...

Normally I like to sleep in a little, but sometimes you just want to get up early on a day like that, see the sunrise, and enjoy a quiet beginning to the day!!

I think the fun and beauty of skywatching is getting to capture nature in a creative and artistic manner like your first photograph.

Way to rub it in, Lisa (the fact that you get to see the NM sunrise every morning)!!!

Gorgeous photos! I am glad that you decided to do this again. :)

Lisa-
Thanks for the proof reading, you little home schooling momma you!!!!

I knew that "rearing" didn't look right, but I just couldn't think of the word/spelling that I actually needed. ;p

It is now changed and I credited you for it...although people reading it now will have no idea what I am talking about...lol!!!

Hmmmm.....maybe I will have to send you Word documents of all of my papers so you can edit them before I turn them in (wink, wink!!)!!!

colleen said...

It's just not fair. Between you and Linda you're making me want to move to NM. If I could only convince my hubby. Have a great weekend.

Those are truly intense shots - I'm afraid to look directly at them.

Beautiful sunrises. Like you, I am never up early enough to see the sunrise.

Beautiful series of sunrise shots - it is worth getting up for sometimes, as long as you don't have to do it every day!
