It’s often clear in our part of Arizona but when there are some clouds, be ready for some spectacular morning color as on this morning last week. Sunrise doesn’t come until about 7:30 am these days so I don’t have to rush out to catch dawn and sunrise. Most mornings I have my devotions, Bible readings, and Norwegian lesson done before going out and I’m still out before the sun, just the way I like it.
Unusually we had an entire day of rain not long ago and, as our soil doesn’t absorb water very quickly, we were left with lots of sitting water. Made for some good reflections.
Presenting still life on the sidewalk. 🙂 The leaf had such a deep, rich color I couldn’t resist.
Naturally drop shots aren’t the norm either so I enjoyed seeing so many drops on this cactus pad.
We’re getting autumn colors now.
Orange color here might just come from…oranges. These are in someone’s yard but the neighborhood streets are lined with citrus trees and fruit for the taking. I just wish more of the trees were lemon trees.

This, that and the other thing 
Wow!
It was a good walk. 😁
I do admire your industry, Janet. Is there a purpose to the Norwegian lessons or just for fun? I have a little Portuguese for you over at mine. Thank you for the beautiful photos and sharing sunset. Have a lovely week!
My s-i-l and b-i-l now live in Norway, hence the switch from French to Norwegian. 😁
🤭💗
I agree Janet, even some Lime Trees as well
Such a beautiful sunrise. Our sunrises here are about 7:30 too and it’s nice not to have to rush. Loved all your wonderful photos – a very nice walk.
Thanks, Peggy. It is nice not having to rush, but it also means I get done later in the morning. As with almost everything, there are advantages and disadvantage is.
Back to the land of the sun … Love the water drops on the cactus. 🙂 Have a good week, Janet!
We’ve had lots of clouds lately but that’s just a lot for us. 😉. You have a good week too, Frank.
Fantastic sunrise, Janet. I love all these shots, especially the one of the leaf with the raindrops.
We can have some amazing sunrises. There are lovely sunsets too but from our house, you can’t really get the full effect because most of what you see is other houses. 🙂
Amazing reflections, Janet 👏 so clear 😃
Not any wind that morning, Jez, which worked out well in all ways. 🙂 Thanks for the visit an comment.
Gorgeous pictures!
Thanks, Janet. There’s even beauty in urban areas, just sometimes a different sort.
Awesome photos!
Thanks! 🙂
Beautiful sunrise, and reflections of the sky and palms.
Merci. 😁
De rien! Comment on-dit merci en norvégien?
Takk. 🥰
Oh! Cool! I learned a new foreign word!
Reminded me of the photo I included in my email. Our lemon tree is going bonkers, but many of our orange trees don’t have any oranges. It’s so sad,
XOXO

Feel free to bring any lemons you don’t want to Prescott on Thursday. I’ll take as many as you want to share! 😉. See you soon.
Great idea. I will definitely bring some. Thanks for the reminder!! 🙂
The autumn colors surprise me. So pretty though
Seasons here are different from elsewhere as are many things. I compare summer here to winter elsewhere…the season many don’t like and try to escape if possible. I have to say I miss winter more than I’d miss 110 degrees, but both have their advantages and disadvantages.
Too frosty here.. you have a wonderful walk around with this sun.
Thanks Anita
It’s not hot in the morning but certainly not like winter mornings in Illinois. 🙂 Might be upper 30’s or mid-40’s, definitely doable.
You find such beauty everywhere you go. It’s truly a gift that you can capture and share it with us. 🙂
Thanks, Hannah. I needed that today. ❤️
Paying attention to the little things in nature is richly rewarding, as your beautiful pictures prove yet again, Janet
Thanks! That makes my evening. 💕
As you made my early morning here in Pretoria with this beautiful post, Janet. It’s 4:50am here, the light is just-just starting to fill in the darkness and the morning chirping is in full swing. Today is Joubert’s first day of High School and the three of us are very excited for this new chapter.
Wow, that’s exciting! Give him our best and let us know how it goes.
Spectacular sunrise Janet. Our sunrises at 4-30am, a little early to catch it and not very interesting at this time of the year.
That’s like here in summer. The good thing then is it’s also the coolest time of the day so if you’re at all a morning person, the best time to walk or be outside.
Love the autumn shot and the raindrops on the leaf best!
Thanks, Teresa. Drop shot opportunities are few and far between usually.
A good walk. I liked the reflective shot in particular.
Thanks! Good reflections can be hard to come by with little water, so they’re always appreciated. 🙂

Wow!
This is really so wonderful, Janet. Thank you for taking me along 🙂
Glad you could come along, Hammad.
