I am often up around dawn, but I rarely take pictures. Today, though, the sky was alight with a glorious bright dawn. Then, a few hours later, I got more birds.
Hope you enjoyed your holidays.
Christmas dawn
Greetings to all!

SERENDIPITY - SEEKING INTELLIGENT LIFE ON EARTH 
I couldn’t do this for years. Small children, mouthy dogs … but now life is all grown up, so I can leave the cameras ready-to-go on the table by the window.

We don’t usually get that kind of sunrise in the middle of the winter here. Usually you see that in September and March, at the solstice. it was nice to see.

The colours are stunning.

Those are the colors. WHEN we get a sunrise, we get those same colors every time. Must have something to do with the kind of dust in the air.

What a glorious dawn. Very quiet Christmas so far, youngest sis in hospital since Monday, but we‘re living in peace, at least. I never was ‚into birds‘, but I am taking an ever increasing interest and your captures are often no less than magnificent. Is one of your feeders deformed or is it just a photographic trick?

Deformed. I don’t know whether it just bounced hard off the deck or raccoons got it, but it keeps falling. Today I had to reshape the top with a couple of pliers because it wasn’t round. I sort of rounded it, but I need a new bird feeder. I just don’t have the money right now.

The first thing I do in the morning is to look if I have a dawn photo.We have had too much rain lately for anything like a sunrise. That is a great photo you have there and a good action flight.

It’s the first nice sunrise I’ve seen in MONTHS. We’ve had the same weather you’re having. A lot of gray days, Sometimes so gray it looks like night in mid-afternoon. Rain. Snow. Sleet. Warm. Cold. Warm. Cold. And a lot of MUD.

We used to get a lot more of them, but the weather has changed. We get a couple of cold days, then the next day, it’s 60 degrees. You never know what’s coming, so I saw the lights in the sky and figured I should take the picture. Who knows when there will be another chance?

Keeping my cameras next to the windows helps too. I don’t have to go hunting for a camera. They are right there all the time. No small kids to worry about. I can leave things out and other than the occasional theft of something the Duke favors, things stay where I put them. Mostly. Assuming I remember where I put them 🙂

I always admire your skill in taking such wonderful pictures. It would help when the camera is ready and always at hand.
