I usually post skies that I can see from our deck, which faces west. There are no power lines to intrude, just beautiful, colorful afternoons and sunsets. But lately, with the arrival of fall, frequently by the end of the day it's just mostly gray. So, I tried catching a sunrise from the front porch. If you click to embiggen you can see what I mean about the intrusion of modern technology! Still the colors were lovely and it is a realistic look at nature in the city. I just don't always want to be too realistic, which I'm sure surprises no one!

How glorious a greeting the sun gives the mountains! ~John Muir



Then a neighbor, who has a second floor deck, heard me whining about the eastward view and took these next shots for me. Now, how about that for a good friend?



Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson



The poetry of the earth is never dead. ~John Keats



Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair. ~Kahlil Gibran
