Breathtaking
Sep. 8th, 2006 04:43 amI was so tired last night, it didn't even occur to me to post about the amazing sights of yesterday morning.
Since the days are getting shorter, it's still dark when we leave home...usually a little before 6:00.
Yesterday, I was glad we leave so early, as we were treated to one of the most BEAUTIFUL full moons I've ever seen...and I've seen a lot of them.
The moon was sanguine...the most beautiful red I've ever seen it. Soft and full and hanging just over the tops of the trees at the horizon.
Sadly, it was about time for it to set, so we weren't able to see it for long.
But, it was breathtaking as it slipped into the marine layer clouds in the distance.
Then, after dropping all three kids off at three different schools, I was privileged to watch one of the loveliest, most breathtaking sunrises I've seen in a very long time.
The sky turned a rosy red before the sun even rose above the horizon and when it did-- probably because of the marine layer--it BURST into the sky in fiery glory. It, too, was red...awesome and blazing.
Truly, truly a wonderful morning, and I consider myself lucky to have been able to see TWO spectacular sights in the same day.
