No, it's not sunrise, but it is when the sun decided to make a brief appearance! ^_^

Close Up
I'm guessing this is a hawk, but I am no expert! So if you know, please let me know in a comment! I'm pretty happy with how well it turned out at 16x zoom on my Canon Powershot!
See it?
January 28, 2010 - I did not take any photos. So, here is part one for the 29th. ^_^

Nostalgic
The frosty light of dawn landing on these tiny tennis reminded me that my teenager once wore them. They have served each of my three boys well, but as soon as my youngest outgrows them it seems an era will have passed. Thursday, January 21, 2010
Wind and Clouds
Actually, the wind chased those puffy clouds away pretty quickly. It turned into a WINDY, but beautiful day. It's to the point where my husband suddenly said last night, "Listen! The wind stopped!" But by morning it was back.

Blinding Brilliance!
My son got this shot as I drove him to school. It still feels more like Spring than January, and the bulbs are starting to sprout. They usually don't make an appearance until mid February. The worry is that if the fruit trees warm too much, they will start to bud early. I love the sunshine, but wouldn't mind a bit more winter.

A Glow
January 15, 2010
I considered making a video this time so I could capture the wild wind that blew all the clouds back in. This shot looks deceptively calm!

A Sunrise
It truly felt like Spring rather than the middle of January today. Apparently, this is not good for future crops, but it sure felt nice!

Windy Ride
I always enjoy looking at the creative decor in this yard as I drive past. This morning I noticed that the wild wind storm that barrelled through last night knocked two of these brave teddies off their bikes! I was a tad bit worried all the huffing and puffing would blow our old house down last night. ^_^ Actually, the effects of the storm even surprised the weather dude on the local news this morning because the downdraft over the Blue Mountains raised the temperature in Walla Walla to 61 degrees by 6 this morning: nearly 30 degrees above the rest of the area! We are about 10 miles away and didn't get quite that warm, but it was up to 48 when I drove through down town.

Lovely!
That's the way to start the day! It's foggy again now. I'm glad I looked out at just the right moment! ^_^

Blanket
Fog blankets the valley today:
Lament of a Night Owl(Another cheesy poem)
Somewhere deep inside my soul,
a part of me aches to control
the too harsh rules of time and space.
Listen as I make my case:
I hate to go upstairs to bed
and pull the blankets to my head,
because it seems that when I sleep
instantly alarms will beep.
So, if I stay late in the night
perhaps I can delay the light
that races round our too small earth
to brighten up a new day's birth.
But sadly, if I finally rest
at one or two or three, the West
will soon be bright'ning anyway,
for I CANNOT delay the day!

Glazed
The rain was already washing away the layer of ice it left in the night, making things extra shiny for a moment.(You can really see the ice here if you click the picture and view it full sized. ^_^)
