Fabulous Tim! Nothing like being out there under a really big sky. The skies tend to be so much more impressive away from city lights (although I guess you don’t have too many city lights at home either!).
It was a rare sunrise to be sure. We definitely had the big sky affect. At home we look through hills and trees, but no city lights. We get some beautiful sunrises, but not like this one. It was like a gift.
Oh Good! We always walk the dogs before sunrise. When we did on this particular morning we could tell the sunrise was going to be beautiful. So I put the dogs in the trailer a Mary got a cup of coffee for each of us. We just stood out in the desert with our coffee in hand and watched the show. It was spectacular. I was a moment.
We sure had a great show. Doesn’t get much better. However, our dogs don’t let us oversleep! I had been out in the dark before the sunrise. Nevada is a bit like Mars only with casinos.
Beautiful sunrise!!! and our sunsets are quite breathtaking as well! This is the BEST time of the year ! Thank You for sharing! Hope you enjoyed your travels. ….(ps…our stars, planets and moon…are quite the sight as well in that BIG open sky)
We enjoyed our travels very much. Now we’re happy to be home. I guess that mean vacation was just right. Those open skies in the desert and on the plains definitely made for beautiful sunsets and sunrises.
Thanks Ruth! The fire is south of us, but we have been getting some smoke. The poor folks in the town of Paradise have been through hell. We’ve had plenty of bad fires here, but this one is the worst.
This sky is a real Christmas gift Tim. I am going to see your other topics as I saw on TV the terrible fires specially in the town of Paradise. So many people died and so many they have not find yet but I don’t think there is any hope for them.
Thank God you haven’t been affected.

I appreciate your kind words and prayers. It was a terrible tragedy in Paradise and the surrounding communities. Rain is coming tonight and the fire should be ending in the next few days. There is still much pain ahead for those folks. Fortunately, we were never in danger here.

My pleasure Ann. I couldn’t keep it to myself. Truth is the photos don’t really do it justice. I wish I could have invited everyone to be there.

We were totally impressed! We left two dogs at home and brought four with us, but they were all very happy when we got home.
