Sunrise

Sunrise, 8:00 A.M. EST 2-17-11. Looking east and straight up.

  • Snow melts quickly,
  • Providing
  • Robins a look into the soggy grass.
  • Irresistible temperatures
  • Nudging me to open the window a crack.
  • Gusts of warmth merrily tinkle the wind chime outside.

  • Tempting as it feels, I'm no fool.
  • Easy come - easy go, this joke from Mother Nature!
  • Another snow will come.
  • Spring has not begun,
  • Even though the sun kissed my face today!

I'm joining Sky Watch Friday!

See anything in the clouds? I see a pelican and a skateboarder!

    Betsy...
    So true about the Spring tease.
    We are currently having snowy skies...
    But last Saturday was one of those Spring tease days...
    which I will take whenever I can get one.
    Where we live we do not see Spring until around June.

    I agree that this weather is a tease. More snow lurks around the corner I have no doubt.

    We're definitely seeing the warmer temps here too...and it feels great. But it looks like you got all the sunshine. Enjoy your day!

    The temperature's been above average all week here (and today was almost 70 degrees). However, as much as I'm loving the warmth, I wish it would drop back down to "normal" before things start blooming. Otherwise, they'll freeze when the inevitable cold weather comes back.

    We got up to 62 today. I hope we don't get blooms...I hate that, too, when they all freeze again!

    The sky can be pretty amazing--you'll love looking at photos of the sky from around the world. I have to tell you of our weather here in Kansas. One week ago it was -16 degrees ( a record), and today it was 75 (a record)--ya gotta love Kansas!!! Mickie

    Glad Spring is on a promise, even if it has not turned up yet. Over here Spring is a tease : here today, gone tomorrow.

    In New England they call this Strawberry Spring, although I have yet to see any strawberries pop up during it.

    Betsy, I thought you might appreciate this from Creative Sunday at our place. It goes well with you beautiful photo. This would make a great poster. Love your poets eye.

    Kite Skies

    In the march of me
    Under kite skies
    I was
    Wind blown
    Cloud filled
    Head gone
    Heart filled
    Youth torn
    I was
    Under kite skies
    In the spring of me
