A fine fall day arrives as clouds retreat and Sol tops the trees. A bit later a lone loon floated by calling a forlorn tremolo. The forlorn loon last to leave. Ice will come. Not soon, but eventually
Hope he heeds the evacuation orders of nature #LakeMiltona #sunrise2025

From the early reddish pink to orange the belt of Venus glow gives way. Helios tops the trees and send brightness and warmth to a clear day. Find a window and bask in the sun ray. Plants are powered by the sun. In a way so are we. Soak it up #LakeMiltona #sunrise2025

First picture this morning and last picture the night before. Scattered clouds provided a colorful canvas twenty minutes before Helios shows. Aurora Borealis sheer tapestry over calm waters with Orion rising and reflected on the mirrored surface #LakeMiltona #sunrise2025

This day: how it started, how it’s going, how it will end. Expecting another spectacular night viewing Aurora borealis. Some forecasters expect tonight to be an even brighter display than last night. What a wonderful world
Love it and live it up #LakeMiltona #sunrise2025

The breath of Boreas moves the clouds out of the way clearing the skies. Far out on the horizon a cloud forms an image of a giant eagle. Perhaps a Thunderbird with great wings soaring toward the sunrise. Images give rise to myths. Stories matter #LakeMiltona #sunrise2025

If snow covered the lawn this would be a completely greyscale dawn. There is just enough chlorophyll left in the grass to add some color to the sunrise. Ducks dabble at the shore. Mostly muttering mallards with mergansers mixed in. Waning autumn #LakeMiltona #sunrise2025

Pink rays tint the broken clouds as a small flock of ducks and a few geese linger at the shore. Moments later Sol peeks through a break in the clouds just above the horizon, laying out a golden carpet across rippled water
A brisk morning begins #LakeMiltona #sunrise2025

A small break at the horizon let the pink rays spill onto sky and water. Sol’s arrival was blocked by the overcast sky. The color is on the warm scale, so the sub freezing air did not feel so cold on the face when stepping outside. Frost is on #LakeMiltona #sunrise2025

Cloudy and grey begins the day. A pair of Canada geese honk loudly as we f this picture taking is interrupting their morning solitude
Last night’s clear skies afforded an opportunity to see bright Jupiter just below Gemini twins Castor and Pollux

In Norse Mythology the sun and moon are Sol and Mani. Twin siblings, sister and brother. The November full moon is known as the Beaver moon. It is setting opposite the approaching sun. A perpetual game of hide and seek or tag. Fun to imagine #LakeMiltona #sunrise2025

The horizon glows orange on a clear dawn, so galling the approach of the sun’s brightness. A full moon sets on the opposite horizon. A day full of promise awaits. Some birds will bask in it, waiting a bit longer before leaving for warmer climes #LakeMiltona #sunrise2025

Sunrise 1769 since I quipped “might take a pic a day” on January 1 2021. It is a lovely habit now to greet the day. Today is Election Day. Voting is another lovely habit. Wherever you are there is a ballot issue waiting your voice. Go and Vote!

Sol arrives burning in brilliance. The murmurations of migrating songbirds have dispersed to the fields. A flock of mergansers has moved up the shore. The day has begun in earnest. Forecast includes high winds with dry air. Be careful with fire #LakeMiltona #sunrise2025

Many times the opening act is worth the full price of the concert. This morning the colors of stretched from the horizon touching the textured cloud tips. A warm spectacle. By sunrise, fissures in the clouds closed enough to begin the day in grey #LakeMiltona #sunrise2025

Even though it’s grey and overcast, it’s a new day a new dawn a new month - and I’m feeling good. Approaching the midpoint of Autumn, still lots of time to “nest” before snow and winter arrives. Small pockets of colorful leaves still to be seen #LakeMiltona #sunrise2025

It’s grey and misty enough to set a mood. Tree limbs, void of foliage, present like ghoulish arms reaching to grasp who or whatever wanders near. ‘Tis the season of spooky stories inspired by nature no doubt. Be well and safe this all hallows eve

One half hour before sunrise, the glow from the horizon spills across calm waters, keeping the creeping fog at bay. The grass crunched under foot as a bit of frost had formed in the night. A quiet morning for now. Migrations are beginning. #LakeMiltona #sunrise2025

Sol casts a molten shadow over the water. The water near the beach is recently rippled from the wings and feet of a flock of common mergansers that took flight as I approached to snap this photo
Fun to see flocks of different birds at this season #LakeMiltona #sunrise2025

Grey and rainy morning. Clouds occlude the sunrise and the raindrops have knocked more leaves from the trees. So here is a look at how the sun has moved since the Autumnal Equinox. Thirty six days to cross from point to point. 54 days to Solstice #LakeMiltona #sunrise2025

There was a prolonged sunrise this morning. Clear skies at dawn were warmed by a glowing Belt of Venus. Sol soon painted the clouds announcing the day’s arrival. As the sun appears we see how far it’s traveled since equinox
Comet Lemon last night #LakeMiltona #sunrise2025

Bumpy clouds tinged with fading pink light from the horizon. Earlier there were more fissures in the overcast sky that slowly closed like heavy eyelids yearning for a few more minutes of sleep. Or maybe that was my own. Weary from watching sports #LakeMiltona #sunrise2025

Overcast with a brisk breeze. The oak has lost more foliage. It has anchored many sunrise pictures from this vantage point. The maple opposite is newer. Its fiery red foliage fell at its feet on a calm day. A ring of red leaves now at the base #LakeMiltona #sunrise2025

Brisk and bright begins the day. Low lying fog in some areas lend an all hallows eve preview. As trees become bare and branches look like bony limbs with frightening phalanges, the sun come out to calm our fears and offer hope & warmth. Away from #LakeMiltona #sunrise2025

These are the kind of morning colors that evoked Homer’s epithet for dawn: rhododaktulos. Rosy fingered. The rosy fingered dawn. Rose color spreads across the clouds. Like we spread our fingers as we stretch, rising from sweet slumber. Away from #LakeMiltona #sunrise2025
