Sunrise - August 26, 2008

Both my husband and I awoke early this morning. We enjoyed listening to the gentle rain that was still falling and also enjoyed having the doors open to let in such fresh, although humid air. About 5:15 my husband suggested we grab our cameras and head out to a good viewpoint in our community to take some sunrise photos since the clouds would make that more interesting. From there, we drove about a mile northwest and tried some other vistas. These are a few of the many photos I took this morning. I also tried out some panoramic shots but the files are too large to include here on the blog. If you would be interested in seeing them, they are the last two entries in my Panorama Set on the Flickr site: http://www.flickr.com/photos/wcbysusanroper/sets/72157602224060332/ On my Flickr site are also a few more photos from this morning's desert jaunt. These have not been Photoshopped, though, so bear in mind that they were taken in low light! They are at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/wcbysusanroper/sets/72157606963388912/

We had such a nice time enjoying the freshly dampened desert, wish that temperature and freshness could continue through the day, but it will get hot and muggy shortly.
