Sunrise and Power Lines

I'm off work for a couple days, and am already enjoying it to the fullest.  It is really warm out this morning, so I stepped outside with my coffee and saw a beautiful red sunrise.  I love pictures of sunrise and sunset.  Love them.  Usually, I'm driving when I see them, so I find the perfect spot to pull over and get a picture of it.

When I'm home, though, it's another story.  I can see that it's beautiful and enjoy it from the side porch, but if the camera comes out, I realize how obstructed the view is.  Power lines and such criss-crossing the sky.  See?

I wasn't about to let that bother me, though!  I just walked under the lines, down the street a bit.  When I was clear of the power lines, I realized that the best shot would require me to be in a back yard that does NOT belong to me.  I didn't think it best to trespass at 7 in the morning, so I walked a bit farther.

By the time I was about a block from home, I found my spot.  I could enjoy the sunrise without disturbing any neighbors.

Ahh.  Much better.  Feeling satisfied, I walked back to my own yard and heard some very loud geese flying South.  Isn't it a bit late for that?  Oh well.

Big plans today.  If all goes well, Tim will have is car tagged and ready to roll.  It's not easy task to tag a car in Missouri.  Especially on the 30th.  Wish us luck!

I noticed the sunrise too. Some geese don't bother to migrate these days.

You get up at sunrise on your day OFF??! You're doing it wrong.
