The morning started out dark, overcast but cool, in the 50’s. As the sky got lighter, the sky was overcast except for two slitters of clear sky above the Sierras which were filled with reddish brown, followed by dark clouds and orange yellow and followed by more dark clouds. As the dawn sky emerged, the colors turned to bright red, gray, yellow and dark gray clouds. The colors grew lighter as the morning progressed. AS the sun rise, the orange sphere illuminated the underside of the clouds around it and the clearing turned to yellow gold color. As the morning continued the sun was shielded by the Dark clouds.
