Whoa...if you missed this sunrise on October 24, 2008, at around 7:10 a.m., you surely missed a great one! I haven't seen a sunrise like this one in a long time. But, then again, I'm always really busy at 7:10 in the morning. Ally was waiting for her school bus when she sent me a text saying that I should be outside taking pictures. I looked out the window and literally couldn't believe my eyes! It just so happened that this magnificent display of orange and bright yellow occurred on a Friday. Since I am lucky enough not to work on Fridays, I threw on a pair of jeans, grabbed a coat, and my camera and drove as fast as I possibly could to the top of a hill where we live. I took 29 photos over the course of about 8 minutes. Here is a sample of what I got. Enjoy!
Once again...Light Up Night. It was touch and go for awhile due to the snow and freezing temperatures (23 degrees and 20 mph winds), but I ended up hanging out at the West End Overlook to try and get some pics of the city. After an hour of standing outside, there was no way I was going to make it for the fireworks. My hands were so frozen, that I could barely curl my fingers around the steering wheel on the way home without experiencing pain. Nonetheless, these are a few shots that I got. Not too bad, but would have been more dramatic with fireworks. Oh well, there's always the fireworks on New Year's Eve.
