Thankful for the Start to the Day

Yesterday promised to be cloudy, cold, and blah. I saw the forecast and was not feeling enthusiastic.

Then, as I ate my breakfast, I saw a glimmer of pink on the eastern horizon. I started getting ready to fly because my guess was that lots of clouds might mean a beautiful sunrise.

It was! This was my first photo toward the east.

A little bit later, the pink clouds were turning orange.

Then, the sun started to peak over the horizon.

It turned out that the sun shined only for 5 minutes after it came over the horizon. I snapped a quick photo of sweet Shyla in the sunshine.
 And then endless clouds blocked it for the rest of the day. However, having seen such a glorious sunrise and having had a brief time in the sun with Shyla kept me smiling even on a blah day. I am thankful.

I made a short video of a 360 degree view of the skies during our sunrise.

Thank you to our friends at Brian's Place for hosting the Thankful Thursday Blog Hop.

    It has been horizon to horizon grey matting over the Hutch the past three days, requiring full lighting indoors to work. Then, as I read your post just now, blow me down if the sun doesn't keek through, just enough to create watery shadows on my wall!!! thanks for bringing the light! YAM xx

    Seeing that beautiful sunrise would make anyone feel great all day. We are finally getting a sunny day here for the first time in about a month.

    We have miserable warm grey weather, well warm for us this time of year. Hoping for more cold soon.
    It's time to see some sunshine.

    What beautiful skies, and a great way to start your day! Too bad it went downhill from there, but getting started on the right foot can make a day so much better.
