Sunrise in Wyoming

With two young boys at our house, I am usually awake before the sun comes up. Though I often notice it getting lighter outside, very rarely do I actually take a moment to go outside and watch the miracle of the sunrise. After seeing these gorgeous photos that my dad took recently (he is always up before the sun!), I think that I may have to take that opportunity more often.

Here is the early morning view to the east of my parent's house in Wyoming.

This particular sunrise colored the entire sky. Look at how beautiful the sky is above the hills to the west of my parents' house.

Of course my parents don't exactly live in the city, so it might be more difficult for us to find an unobstructed view of the sunrise around here. However, I think I may have to take my older son outside one morning and try to have him watch the sunrise with me (he's an early bird). He loves everything that is up in the sky... the moon, stars, airplanes, helicopters, clouds, sun and rain. I can only imagine what he would think of wonders such as these.

I am participating in Wordful Wednesday.

p.s. My dad just had some minor laparoscopic surgery this week. We love you and hope you feel better soon Dad!
