Sunday Sunrise
I almost missed the sunrise this morning because I overdid it yesterday trying to contain my oak tree’s leaf largesse. I ran out of leaf bags (two left over from last year plus ten more purchased this week from Home Depot) and the rain (or is that reign?) of leaves continues.
I fell out of bed at about a quarter to six and this is what I saw out my bedroom window:
Not bad with just my smartphone camera on “Dawn” setting.
I’m taking the rest of the morning ‘off’ to recover from yesterday. Home remodeling projects will be calling my name this afternoon.
Good morning!

I didn’t know that our Union Station was the second largest train station in the United States. And it turns 99 tomorrow.
Overdue for a Sunrise
Happy Hump Day!

I live in Kansas. This is preaching to the choir. The Flint Hills are a personal favorite.

More About The 40-Year-Old Picture That Makes People Smile
The power of a single still black and white photograph. Brought tears to my eyes reading the photographers comments about it.
