Some rabbits are getting used to me as they do not scamper away as I approach them. The dawn sky was beautiful with an array of complementary colors and the dark blue sky. As the sun rise progress, the color became lighter pastel colors. As the sun rise over the horizon, the big orange sphere looked so close and grand. It warmed the air. Finished walking at 8:05 AM.
