The morning started out dark, partial overcast and cool, in the 40’s. As the sky grew lighter, dark gray clouds were everywhere except for a slither of clearing in the lower mid sky above the Sierras. The clearing was reddish orange and the clouds near the path of the sun was tinted with brownish and dark gray. As the dawn sky emerged, the clearing color changed to Orange, the clouds on the path of the sun was yellow and some stratus colors changed to peach fuzz color. It reminds me of some painting by the great masters of the Renaissance age, what a beautiful sight. As the sun clears the clouds, an orange sphere emerged and it lit up the sky with and array of pastel colors. As the sun ascended, it was shielded by the clouds. The clouds are gathering and it is supposed to rain tonight. The same rabbit was hanging out by the basketball court today. I gave it an apple core.
