It was one of those moments when I had no choice but to stop the car and walk back up the bridge... and stand in His glory. Perhaps He created this masterpiece just for me. The layers of gold. The pinks and blues smudged and swirled. And the way it filled the landscape... and gave light to my soul.
When my eyes and lens had had their fill, I continued on... noticing how the clouds had shifted and what had been so extraordinary was now just a pretty sky. And I felt that much more love coming from His heart to mine...
It was Tuesday moment... an ordinary occurance that was spectacularly un-ordinary... and by slowing down and taking the time to fully appreciate the moment, I was given a most beautiful memory.
When morning gilds the skies my heart awaking cries,
May Jesus Christ be praised!
May Jesus Christ be praised!
Alike at work and prayer, to Jesus I repair:
May Jesus Christ be praised!

Wow, Dawn, those are gorgeous! What a beautiful reminder of God's love!
Absolutely beautiful. That sky leaves me also in awe.
Wow, Dawn. Those are incredible photos. The colors, the clouds. After you witness a sunrise like that, pretty much by yourself, and then the colors wash out by the sun as it climbs higher and the whole sky goes bright blue or even white, don't you sort of wonder if you were the only one who saw it? Do you think about all those people still sleeping in their beds, completely oblivious to what they just missed?
I'm glad you caught it.

Wow - just wow, Dawn.
Beautiful.
And PW is asking for sunrise and sunset shots on her photography site. You need to submit these!
So gorgeous. I am so glad you had your camera with you, as well as the memory card.

Awesome, magnificent, dazzling. There are not enough adjectives to describe God's creation. I would have had to stop to take it in too!!
You are smart to always have your camera on hand. I can't count how many times I've witnessed God's hand across the sky, or other places, and I regretted not having my camera.
That first shot is especially breathtaking. Truly magnificent.
Wow! The heavens declare the glory of the LORD, don't they? Absolutely beautiful!
Just stunning! Love the shot with the tree! Glad you had your camera. I rarely take my camera 'just because', so I would have missed it. Glad you got it. : )
