Happy Thursday! We are almost through the week! I slept in so here is the second place vote-getter from yesterday's sunrise. It's straightforward but the shimmer, shoreline wave patterns, and pencil-thin cloud separator work well. Tap for full size. I hope you have a great day!

Quirky 70+ year senior with youthful sensibilities. Kind, cool, complex, in that order. Watch 300+ sunrises a year. Ad man at Y&R; Wharton MBA.
Where did all the artwork & national treasures housed in the East Wing go?
Happy Wednesday! We're halfway through the week! I was late so the sun was already rising before I got to the bridge so I got this rather artsy treatment, complemented by the sun's Omega effect where the sun "sticks" to the horizon. Tap for full size. I hope you have a great day!
Happy Tuesday! We had a pretty straightforward sunrise today but the even distribution of the front waves gave the water a nice complementary texture. Tap for full size. I hope you have a great day!
I apologize for my delayed responses to likes and comments. I diligently check my Mentions on BS and nothing came through until this morning when things 22 hours out finally started showing up.
Happy Monday! It's a new week – but sadly, the final week of summer 😢. We had overcast skies this morning, but I just happened to get this lovely sunset last night over the dunes of Sandy Hook as a substitution. Tap for full size. I hope you have a great day!
Happy Sunday! We are having rain so I slept in so here is another shot from Friday's amazing collection taken four minutes before the sun broke the horizon. Tap for full size. I hope you have a great day!
Happy Saturday and Happy 5787! We had a bland sunrise so instead here is a shot of the Tribute in Light last night for the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on America, looking north from a boat in New York Harbor. Tap for full size. I hope you have a great day!
Happy New Year to those who celebrate! I hope 5787 is a good year for you!
Tonight once again the amazing Tribute in Light will be displayed in New York. Two towering beams of light reach to the sky to honor lives lost on 9/11. Here is how it looked last year. Tap for full size, particularly as it's a vertical. I hope you are having a meaningful day!
As a timeline cleanse I only have about a dozen pictures that have the Twin Towers in them but this one has always been my favorite. Tap for full size. I hope you are having a great day!
It's 9/11, 25 years to the day we were attacked by terrorists. The Universe delivered sky after sky of amazing color and clouds this morning, so here is the one when daybreak officially arrived. Tap for full size. I hope you have a good and meaningful day!
Happy Thursday! We are almost through the week! We had light spritz just as I was arriving on scene today so here is a pre-sunrise shot from yesterday looking south with some worthy color and design. Tap for full size. I hope you have a great day!
Happy Wednesday! We had some pretty sweeping cirrus clouds this morning (along with those two darker stratocumulus remnants for contrast) as the sun broke through the horizon line. Tap for full size. I hope you have a great day!
Happy Tuesday! It's a new work week! We had a pretty bland sunrise today so in its place here is yesterday's sunset over Sandy Hook Light in New Jersey. Tap for full size. I hope you have a great day!
LABOR DAY! Aday when LABOR should be honored. Not so much here! The American worker is forced to toil at low wages while the HOUSE has been given a 2 month PAID vacacation....
Today we salute the people who do the work that pays for everything as they trudge off to the food banks to feed their families, while inflation always ensures that their wage packets get smaller year on year even when they get a wage rise.
As a timeline cleanse, here's a nice macro shot from my iPhone 15 of a dragonfly which landed on my beach chair today. Amazingly the quality will way better when I upgrade to the new iPhone 18 because of tech advances. Tap for full size. I hope you are having a great Labor Day!
Happy Labor Day! Today we salute the people who actually do the work that makes our nation function. The sky was rich but empty today, so the swash stepped up to create some nice texture and drama. Tap for full size. I hope you have a great day!
For a TL cleanse, here is some amazing dolphin activity yesterday that I slowed to 1/3 speed to show detail (= no sound). It's heavily zoomed and they surface randomly so excuse the somewhat jerky camera work. Tap/horizontal for full screen. I hope you are having a great day!
Happy Sunday! I thought sunrise would be a bust today but just as I was about to give up hope the sun carved out a nice space between the clouds. Tap for full size. I hope you have a great day!
Happy Saturday! It's the weekend! We had amazing clouds at sunrise this morning that kept getting better and better and reached higher and higher – I had to use the 0.5X ultra wide lens on the iPhone to get all of this in. Tap for full size. I hope you have a great day!
Happy Friday! We made it through the week! I thought today was a lost cause because of low clouds, but on my way back over the bridge I saw this modest hit of color and design after all. Tap for full size. I hope you have a great day!
Happy Thursday! We are almost through the week! We had rain this morning, so I had a glorious extra couple of hours to sleep in. Here was the third place winner from Sunday's amazing sunrise. Tap for full size. I hope you have a great day!
Happy Wednesday! We are halfway through the week! We were overcast this morning so here is the second place vote getter from Sunday when the entire sky was this gorgeous hue of red. Tap for full size. I hope you have a great day!
Happy Tuesday! It's totally overcast today so here is the second place vote-getter in coffee shop voting yesterday. Tap for full size. I hope you have a great day!
I wonder how many of these trees I captured are still standing after Trump took the chainsaw to them for his golf course? 😡😢💔
Seems the Orange 🤡's renaming Lake Ontario is just as popular as his renaming The Gulf of Mexico, which is... NOT AT ALL. Instead of working on lowering prices, his focus on B.S. like the Ballroom, Helipad & putting his name on the Kennedy Center is the perfect Midterm strategy...for the DEMS!
Happy Monday! It's a new week! We had clouds this morning at sunrise but there was just enough leakage and splay to them that when looking south it created a nice kiss of design and color. Tap for full size. I hope you have a great day!
