The morning walk started out dark and cold. As the sun rise, the dawn sky with its full array of colors was on display and the sun rise orange sphere was spectacular. As the sun rose, it warmed the air and made it comfortable. Finished walking at 8:00 AM, stretched in the sunlight at the basketball court. Stretching in the sunlight was pleasant.
