I'll tell you how the Sun rose –A Ribbon at a time....Emily Dickinson, c.1860

 

Slow buds the pink dawn like a rose
From out night's gray and cloudy sheath;
Softly and still it grows and grows,
Petal by petal, leaf by leaf...
Susan Coolidge, "The Morning Comes Before The Sun"

Gorgeous sunrise, such an unusual color! I wonder if it's from smoke in the air, but that's usually orange, isn't it? Just beautiful.

I love it! I have a habit of taking photos of night/evening skies. I'm not usually awake for sunrises. Too much of a night owl most nights.
