This morning, I was going to the office, and the sun was just beginning to rise over the horizon.  The light caught the scattering of clouds and the sky turned to gold as the clouds became a bluey purple, edged with a warm pink.  The light caught the treetops and turned the brown bark a pinkish hue.  The wild pears, redbuds and early cherry trees were beginning to bloom out, even though we are still having touches of frost.  Jonquils and hyacinth splashed color in the beds along the roadway. I could catch a glimpse of a bird or two as I drove along, and as I turned into the office drive, a couple of Canadian geese picked at the fescue lawn, searching for bugs. 

As I walked inside to start my workday, I carried that vision of the blues, golds and pinks of sunrise in my mind.  The world can be a wondrous place, if we will only open our eyes and see. 

And I couldn't help but wonder how I would capture that pinky salmon color the next time I sat down at my easel!
