The Morning Light

There is something magical about the glow of the morning light during sunrise.

A wonderful start to a beautiful day.  High temps reaching near 70 degrees, sunshine and a light breeze.  Autumn is very good to us this year.

Port City

I brought my camera with me to work on Friday in the hopes of stopping by Bayfront Park at some point to see the hot air balloons at the Balloon Festival.  Due to weather conditions and a crazy work day, I never had the chance to see the balloons or even make it away from my desk.  I did stop by Canal Park on my way into work to take pictures of a ship sitting out in Lake Superior.  There was wonderful morning sunlight on the ship as I was making my way to Canal Park, but by the time I got there, the gray skies took over.

As I was leaving my office much later that day, the dark clouds of the morning were overtaken by bright sunlight.  This ship was just going out of the harbor as I was headed home for the day.

The beautiful sunshine stayed for most of the weekend as we ushered in fall.  I can’t wait to get out and capture some of the autumn colors in the coming weeks.

Green

At long last the snow has melted (most of it anyway) and things are beginning to green up.

Daffodils

Irises

My in-law’s bought me this bougainvillea plant as an early Mother’s Day present.  I can’t wait for weather warm enough to hang it outside our front door.

Bougainvillea

I took these next photos just before sunset tonight.

Beautiful Sky

Hoping for a beautiful week ahead.
