Album Sky-Scapes from Janet Brien

A Real Sunrise!! Dedicated to John Varley, John Edward, and all of you EARLY BIRDS!! :D

Dedicated to two of my dear Flickr friends whose sunrises I admire so much! To John Varley , who is so busy these days he barely has time to take pictures, but whose sunrises always come to mind when I think of him, and to John Edwards, who is always taking incredible landscape pictures at the crack of dawn. And to all of you crazy nuts who actually wake up as the sun comes up WITHOUT an alarm, I dedicate this picture to you!!! *big hugs*

WHY am I up at dawn?! No, I haven't lost my marbles! Steve had to leave the house for a long drive so I made him coffee before he left! :D

If any of you know me, you know I am an incurable night owl. I LOVE the early morning but I HATE getting up in the wee hours because I can never get to bed before 1am or later. This is why a sunrise is so amazing to me! I never see them!! :D Thus, I am always teasing both Johns to go back to sleep and question them as to why are they awake at o'dark hundred?! :D And for the rest of you crazy people out there, I've given you a fair share of harassment too! :) Don't worry, I don't hate you, I'm just jealous! :D

It rained a bit today, the skies dull and grey. But as the afternoon wore on, the sky began to clear and we started to see amazing cloud formations marching past. I kept my eye on them, and as the sun began to set, I was ready and waiting! I hope you'll click on this picture to get a larger view--panoramas really need to be seen large for best impact! :)

Elbert Green Hubbard (June 19, 1856 – May 7, 1915) was an American writer, publisher, artist, and philosopher. Raised in Hudson, Illinois, he met early success as a traveling salesman with the Larkin soap company. Today Hubbard is mostly known as the founder of the Roycroft artisan community in East Aurora, New York, an influential exponent of the Arts and Crafts Movement. Among his many publications were the nine-volume work Little Journeys to the Homes of the Great and the short story A Message to Garcia. He and his second wife, Alice Moore Hubbard, died aboard the RMS Lusitania, which was sunk by a German submarine off the coast of Ireland on May 7, 1915. Wikipedia: Elbert Hubbard

The clouds that pass by our house are often insanely gorgeous and I simply cannot resist taking pictures! This is a picture I took a few days ago as an army of storm clouds was passing through.

This image was taken in February, 2012.
