The sunrise this morning was spectacular! A pink peach sky reflecting off of blue edged altocumulus clouds that are being overtaken by a wave of a matching stratus. Each object touched by the sunlight radiates the vibrant color. As the sun rises higher in the sky, The pinks and blues morph into brilliant white edges on golden clouds. After what seems like endless mornings of rain and gray and predawn darkness, the sunrise this morning is a celebration. |

"altocumulus?" Okay, I looked it up, smarty. Loved your celebration of your happy morning; may you have many more. ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |

I had to look it up too, Jerry. They were very distinctive clouds and I wanted to know what to call them. ~L |

Yeah, the cumulus, of course I understood, but it was the "alto" that had me going around in circles. From now on whenever I see those kind of clouds making up I will think back to this poem, the word and you for giving me the name of them. Cool. ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |

Lovely images and observations Lori Rhoden. Some look up and see only sky. I'm very fond of clouds. There's always something to see in them...colors, shapes. your in-laws...etc.  Pass the Glade if you're going to do that here... |

Phineas, I'm fond of finding shapes in the clouds myself. I drive south on a 6 mile stretch of blacktop lined with wheat fields and the treeline that follows a river. Every morning on my way to work I have a wide open view of the sunrise. They have inspired many a poem. ~L |

I see you mentioned "shapes and "clouds", Lori Rhoden...but conspicuously left out the "in-laws". Maybe I should have too.  Pass the Glade if you're going to do that here... |

Lori you paint such a lovely picture ~ Definitely a sunrise to celebrate! It's always such a fun past time to find objects in the clouds. Loved doing that since I was a little girl ~ Much enjoyed the read ~ Alana |

I live in the Houston, Texas metroplex - we seldom see beautiful sunrises or sunsets - jealous of you I am. Especially when i have memories of Arizona and Calif. skies... j. |
