"The sun truly "comes up like thunder," and it sets just as fast. Each sunrise and sunset lasts only a few seconds. But in that time you see at least eight different bands of color come and go, from a brilliant red to the brightest and deepest blue. And you see sixteen sunrises and sixteen sunsets every day you're in space. No sunrise or sunset is ever the same."
~ Joseph Allen
American astronaut

These sunrise pictures were taken in Fairfield Township, Ohio, where I live.
I took them while walking with Jessie....19 October 2005

The rising sun complies with our weak sight,
  First gilds the clouds, then shows his globe of light
    At such a distance from our eyes, as though
      He knew what harm his hasty beams would do.

Today’s Goodnight

Shades of pink and cobalt blue
showed at sunset tonight;
Above the blue was soft melon -
another awesome delight.

Some sunsets bleed with vibrant colour
but these were soft and subdued;
Angels kissing us all goodnight -
bidding today adieu.

Two little verses from a hospital bed -
what more was there to say?
Shades of pink from God’s own brush -
blessing me in His own special way.
