Icicles at Dawn

The icicles on the front of the house look so different in the early morning light!

I am sharing them with Friday Finds even if this is Monday...

Dawn Ice

The wind ruffled the small patch of open water, while the rising sun cast its golden light over the whole pond.

Getting closer, you can see the texture of the ice.

A different part of the pond, and the light has changed completely.

Skywatch Friday

I am fascinated with the steam coming from furnaces at this time of year. Much more active than clouds. A waning moon simply adds to the appeal.

I am linking this post with Skywatch Friday. Come check out what is appearing in skies around the world...

Dawn

Catching the Light

This is a post about sunrise,

 but I am not looking at the sunrise itself.

 A couple of years ago, 

 I noticed the way the rising sun

  caught the hydro wires and towers,

 and I have finally managed to capture that.

It is a fleeting thing

 so I have to get the three of us to the towers

  in time to capture it before it fades.

 Nature Footstep has included catching the light into her Monday Inspiring Photos.

Pond at Sunrise

I was standing beside the pond, admiring the golden light on the ice, and Jake walked into the photo.

 I'm not sure if he was admiring the light, or just wanting to get on with our walk.

 When I used the embossing feature, the houses across the road became more distinct than they are in the actual photos.

Skywatch Friday

 It has been a wonderful week

for sunrises,

 not just the colours

 in the sky, 

 but the reflected light

 on the walking sentinels

 and the trees.

Skywatch Friday

I couldn't decide whether to bring you moonrise, or sunrise today, so I am giving you both! I wish the contrail in the moonrise photo were more definite...

The sun blazing through the clouds created quite a lovely display.

Skywatch Friday

Sunrise is getting later, so I am seeing colour in the skies on our morning walks.

 The colour makes the walking sentinels fascinating.

Ducks on the River

I saw this pair of mallards

 enjoying the newly open spaces

 on the river.

 

Skywatch Friday

I was watching the sunrise, and the silhouettes against the golden light, as I walked the dogs.
