I slept in a bit this morning .. 7:20 AM .. so I didn't think there would be a "morning sky show" .. but a little glow of pink perked me up when it peeked through the blind .. it was so still, so quiet, and so damn COLD ! haha
Wafting clouds .. soft brush strokes in the sky .. a touch of pink, purple, lovely light to dark blue .. and the back lighting from the sun rise was reflecting off the bottom of one of the cloud groups ..
Click on the bottom picture to enlarge and see what I mean about the back lighting ? .. it is subtle but it is definitely there and then overwhelmed with daylight so quickly ..
And ........... now for the COLD .... it was a bit crisp this morning. Even my camera complained about the cold .. poor thing .. how do you think I felt standing there with the open deck door ? ALIVE !! .. that sudden burst of COLD and you feel so alive, or was that my cold saying "what the h*** are you doing woman ???" The sky is a magnet to me so I can't help myself ... but holy mackerel .. cold is COLD but then again, I'm Canadian EH !!Last night would have been magnificent to see .. the clear skies .. stars and that glorious moon was in full throttle but sadly I do have to draw the line some where in the snow and just say no to my impulses .. plus the fact the moon was too over head for me to get a shot .. but that urge was barking ? oops meowing ? at me ; )

I believe those lovely morning skies are compensation for the cold temps, Joy. :)
OMG! Cold indeed!
If you read my blog you know I HATE WINTER... But if I had that kind of temp. I think I would really move. We have gotten down to 5 a couple times this winter and I thought that was bad. I just have a real problem with cold.. But Spring is on it's way!!!
Have a great day it is Beautiful there...
Glad you are feeling good enough to brave the cold so we can see your lovely view! Now get inside and don't do that again! We can't have you getting sick;-) Goodness who was I channeling there? Yep, my grandmother...lol....gail
In Europe we are also getting very cold weather this Winter.
Last night we had, in Lisbon, -2ºC, wich is rare.
The weather man even said that it might snow a bit but that was a promise thaey couln't keep.
Wow
I almost titled today's post "Baby it's cold outside.
Sorry you can't take advantage of the raffle. I'd make a special exemption for ya but Canada won't let me in and I'm afraid the USA wouldn't let me back if I did get across the border.
Your head cold gave me a Python flashback:
Nurse! Nurse! My brain hurts!
I'm no doctor but I think it might have to be removed.
Frost on the tootsies?
Hope that you are feeling better soon.

We're having a little snow here in NYC. Just enough to be decorative, not enough to make it difficult to walk around outside. It's chilly here (31 F), but not COLD. Is that -10 on your thermometer? Sheesh!
Love the photos of the clouds! Stay warm!
You know, I was looking at that bright, luminous moon thinking I should get a picture of it too.... It was too cold for me too though and I said forget it. Maybe when it warms up.
Joy, I was just about to complain about our 30 degree weather, but never mind:)
BRRRRR, too cold for me Joy! Stay in the house woman, before you really get sick. ;)
Minus 25c...did I read that right?
I understand why you look to the skys with everything frozen.
Funny I can't feel it in the pictures :) Now I'm getting batty!
Award for you if you like to stop by.
Stay warm kiddo.
Brrr... THAT is COLD!

Hello Greenman .. Cold weather is reaching further down towards the warm countries .. is this the "greenhouse" affect happening ?!

Hello there Randy ! .. Those pictures of the clouds and streaming sun light were wonderful ! .. I am so guilty about not reading my camera manual .. I have to DO THAT !! it might make my pictures better .. duh ? LOL
Thanks for the kind thoughts .. more herbal tea should do the trick : )
Brrr there. It was very warm here and I was able to be outside most of the weekend doing clean up chores. I have a lot more to do and then of course pruning too. I hope you feel better. Its a nasty virus going around out there. Have a good week!!!
Hi Cindee .. I can't imagine being in the garden (no matter the clean up part ?) this time of year ! .. we polar bears are still in COLD stage girl ! haha
Yup Thanks .. loads of herbal tea has been washing the bugs out I think : )
I love that you included the photo of the thermometer - now you can't be accused of exaggerating!
