In an attempt to get in better shape I got up early and went for a walk. Since the sun hadn't risen I spent time looking for the best place to watch it rise. I went to 2 parking garages before deciding which one I liked best for the viewing. My reasoning was that I liked the buildings around the one I chose better than the other one because of where the sun may be reflecting onto. Anyhow, I took bunches of pictures and the following are a few of them.
Pigeons sleeping, and yes, Bert's Pigeon Song has been going through my head.
Mostly dark. There is a star (probably the planet Venus) a bit over the high tension line.
More pigeons.
The distant sun reflecting off some clouds.
Really hoping that the church steeple is not as leaning as it seems,
Close up of cloud.
Starting to peak.
Sun reflecting off a building.
Sun doing weird things to the camera of my phone.
Reflections off the Capitol.
A fountain.
The pigeons are awake and away!
Sun from the other garage.
Bell tower.
One of the cakes.
Me with my Aunt Gert that turned 104 last month.
With my 2 brothers.
Family.
My daughter and I with Aunt Winnie, the birthday girl.
Poem I wrote for today. I would have liked to have more time on this one. I'm not crazy about how it came out.
Up early to see the sunrise
It took longer than expected
8 minutes late to my surprise
A little past when predicted
More bright creeping ever higher
Up it crawled- peeked over a knoll
Glowing bright orange ball of fire
And then I could finish my stroll
More prepared for another day
Or to that eastern hill away
