A very rainy day

At 6am it was raining although the temperatures (both water and air) added up to a safe day to row.  And the forecast at the time was for more rain most of the day.  But by the time I finished my usual two mile walk around the rail trail the rain had stopped and the forecast, although very cloudy, the rain had pretty much dried up.

If you are able to go out, enjoy the rest of the day.  I continue to have too many commitments to get out on the Hudson or the Creek but I am sure within a week or so I will be able to join in the glorious waters we have here in Kingston.

But a little too cold…..and too many commitments today.

If you look at all the sunrise pictures I share you will notice that they are all unique.  This one was quite a surprise.  I can’t remember seeing these colors before.  I think that the amount of moisture in the air changes the colors (I never use filters).  And since the moisture in the air varies considerably it can affect the way the picture looks—dramatically.

Then it should give pause because every picture you see is a once in a lifetime picture.  Be happy that you caught it, that you enjoyed it.  And if you can, share it.  Every moment in your life is precious.  We are only here for a dozen or more decades.  Remember that each time you experience a sunrise.

I have only started categorizing my sunrise pictures separately but going forward I will do so.  So that you can browse them and compare.

Thanks for your interest.  And if you have a second, please like the page and the website.  I would GREATLY appreciate it.
