I watch the same patch of sky morning after morning after morning and it still mystifies me with colours that look truly impossible ...
The only way I can describe what it feels like to watch it unfold albeit to terribly quickly and it is gone .. well it is like being a kid at Christmas just in the middle of unwrapping a huge exciting gift .. you don't know what it holds but you are so excited about it !
Very subtle changes within minutes .. literally
Then some mornings it is like a huge sponge soaks up all the colour and the sky goes a dull gray
So then is the time .. knowing full well no one with any sense should be up at the same moment I am gallivanting ? in my garden camera in hand .. exclaiming same said excitement of beautiful flowers in garden ..Franziska Maria clematis for one .. living in an impossible place on the other side of a roaring giant Bittersweet vine that would consume it in a flash if it could !
That makes it all the more endearing to me .. it taunts a garden bully and thumbs its nose at it !
Then some very girlie pinks show off their colour .. can you ever be too pink I wonder ?
Wargrave Pink geranium is always a gorgeous PINK .. so delicate looking yet such a survivor !
How about "Pink-in-WAITING" ? .. I transplanted Petite Delight Monarda to a much sunnier site to finally give it a chance to show off its beautiful shaggy heads .. I can't think of bee balm without remembering that wonderful spicy aroma .. one of my favorites !
Brass Lantern heuchera is not supposed to be really pink .. but I think a little pink is sneaking in while it can and that is fine with me !
Then .. leaving all those fantastic colours behind .. how about a pot pixie with its magic flower wand ... now what could she be up to next ?
I will be missing in action with the painters coming on Thursday to do the magic trick of their own .. all I can say is .. even just prepping? by getting things off the wall and moving a few other things around so as not to be in their way .. well ... "why do I keep dreaming up projects " is another mystery .. I could lay down on the floor right now and not get up until NEXT Tuesday !

Such beautiful pinks - all of them!
Ok Joy! If you don't stop posting all those gorgeous sunrises, I'm gonna end up getting up early to look for them here and I want my sleep! LOL
But seriously, words just can't describe those shots...beautiful as always!
Hi Joy, I think starting each day by connecting with the dawn sky must be a wonderful way to get your day off to a great start. As always, I enjoy it through your eyes! :)
Hello Rebecca : ) .. it looks distorted because the colour is so intense when I zoom in with my camera .. I don't know if there IS a camera that would pick it up exactly as it is ! LOL
Hi Linda : ) rest easy .. today is dull and gray and IF we are lucky it will clear up, haha .. but we needed the rain and that is such a relief to my gardener side phew ! now on with clearing out the kitchen and bathroom .. I'll be so damn glad to get this painting DONE !
Thank you Ms S : ) some mornings are such a beautiful event .. I can hardly believe it myself .. I love and appreciate those mornings so much ! .. I think the garden enjoys it too ? LOL
You're so lucky to live in such a lovely place to see these marvelous skies.
I admire your garden, too. And lately Im trying to help my mum in her garden. :)
Happy Wednesday!
Beautiful! How come you are getting all that color and I am not seeing anything? How early do you get up??
Oh no, there are 2 Rebecca's here lol.
Your pics are beautiful. I love the comparison between the blue/pink sky and the blue/pink blooms. Great idea! The clematis is outstanding.
Hi Dani and thank you very much !
I am so happy to be able to see beautiful skies in the morning .. hope you have fun helping your mum with her garden .. take the time to enjoy it ! : )
Sandy girl I get up at 5 AM .. it is my summer cycle .. well, it started in the Spring when the sky started getting light much earlier .. it is my circadian rhythm .. but I go to be VERY early too ! We have some storms passing through so those skies will be gray for a while !
Rebecca I laughed at how you said that ! too funny : ) .. yes, I thought the pink and blue of the sky was great to pick up some pink and blue of the garden and YES ! that clematis amazes me because I stuck it in such a bad place ;-)
