This was the reward for getting up a little early one day last week:
It was breezy and a little cool by later in the morning, but it didn't matter, because before it even really began, we'd already had a perfect day!

Loking at that sunrise makes me want to get up early too-even in the winter-beautiful!

Gorgeous skies, Sallie!

Fantastic color especially in the first photo. I hope it didn't turn out too stormy later in the day - that's what usually happens out here when we get a sky like that.

Almost makes getting up early in the morning worthwhile!!!

What a reward for waking up early, Sallie - an absolutely breathtaking sunrise! Makes me want to kneel down and say amen-or halleluja!

Hi Sallie!
Great posts from your neck of the woods - Florida. I never in my trips to the USA got down to Florida - not sure how many! 6 for sure.
I have on occasions viewed your blog from your comments on Diane's "Adventure Before Dementia" - always very interesting and informative. Well done.
Your "cruiser" looks fantastic - not real sure if it would manage the Pacific to visit here! And even more delighted that it is not painted - "PURPLE"!!! ha ha.
I did have the last say on Diane's blog - "Gotcha Sallie".
Great to see that you have a fantastic sense of humour, mate!
We call friends that here - irrespective of their sex.
Keep up the good work.
Cheers
Colin (HB)

A stunning collection of rewards indeed. Yet another example of "the early bird catches . . ." (only I'm glad you didn't come up with worms!) Thanks for sharing these speccy images. Happy SWF!

Nice shots Sallie. I like that first one of the bright red clouds.
Btw the Donkin lighthouse is in the city centre, so I am not sure hy the sky ended up being so dark. Just luck I suppose.
