And they ask us why we live in the Pacific North West! How many times are we lucky enough to catch the moment? I did! \:D

For those of you that missed it this morning, our sunrise was nothing more then spectacular!

I took a stroll up to the front of the office this morning and saw it. It caught my attention so I stood and looked for a couple of minutes. Boss is on vacation so no chance of why arent you working.

Nice shots. Really made my morning watching it come over the cascades as I froze my butt off while not catching anything...

The head of my bed is a 9' wide picture window w/o drapes or blinds it looks out on my 12 acres. It faces the Cascades so I wake up with the birds every morning. In fact we are 2000' from the nearest road and the birds are so loud in the spring and summer they wake you up before the light. Rough life!

Man.......the sunrise was so beautiful this morning I got my wife out of bed just to see it. It cast the most intense shade of tangerine/pink glow over the whole neighborhood. I can't imagine living anywhere other than western WA. The sun coming over the Cascades is the best. Our sunsets can't be beat either. Just think of all the east coasters that don't get the chance to see the sun dip into the ocean while you watch for the 'green flash".

Beautiful pics!

Saw it rise over Sauk Mountain, about 7:45..it was an incredible sight. Had just left the house on the way downriver to a sawbones appt., went about 1/2 mile and had to stop and watch it for a few minutes...called the wife and got her out to see it, but not sure if she took any pics.

Were supposed to get more snow tonight. Got about 6" of frozen stuff now..don't need more, but it sure it a pretty sight to see coming down.

Mike. . . . Like you, when I first looked out my window and saw this down my driveway...... \:D I grabbed my camera in headed out front for some more pics! \:D I knew it was going to be one of those days that you say; I wish I had my camera!

Today, I did \:D \:D
