Sunrise View


In the Summer, the tall trees filled with green leaves makes for a seemingly secluded backyard.  I can see the sunrise from the back deck but it seems to rise from the trees, not the horizon.

Come mid-October, as the leaves begin to fall from the trees, the horizon comes into view.  My sunrise watching seems more expansive and on clear days I enjoy a cup of coffee on the back deck, wrapping a sweater around me as I watch the dawn light fill the sky as the sun creeps over the horizon.  As we near the time change, sunrise is rather late in the morning and the inky darkness doesn’t start to ease until just after 7 am.  The view to the East is opening up and I’m looking forward to the Winter sunrises in the coming months.
