It was like being in the middle of a rococo painting. This is the sunrise at shortly after seven this morning. The whole sky was this lush pink haze. Of course I haven't captured it but it was amazing, almost tangible.
Same view without so much cropping. By the time I got myself ready to go for the morning walk all the pink was gone and there was just blue sky and fluffy white clouds. It's a beautiful Southern California day. Looks like the rain is gone for a while.
Yesterday was pretty slow at A Stitch in Time. I did see a couple of friends and students. My latest zigzag scarf attracted a lot of attention though. I worked on it for most of the morning and then switched to some socks that have been in the knitting bag for a while. Mindless, take-along socks.
I could spend today doing chores. But I'm not going to. There's plenty of time for that. Today I'm going to knit for as long as I can. And nap. And read some of the books I got for Christmas. And maybe go out for lunch.

What a gorgeous sky! We're unseasonably warm right now. Today was just like spring, I even have my door open to let in some fresh air. By the looks of it it's going to last right through the weekend.
How beautiful. It looks like a postcard. Sounds as though you have a nice relaxing day ahead of you. I might do the same thing!
Lovely. Both the pictures and your plans for the day!
I saw that sky this morning, too. But now it's clouded over and thinking it might like to sprinkle. I need to figure out how to take pictures from my upstairs window--without getting the messy window into the shot! Cats like to sleep on the ledge and so it's kitty nose-prints for about 2 feet up!
Larry,
I drove to work under that sky this morning (only a little earlier than 7, though), and I kept looking up just to see it. It was truly beautiful.
By the end of the day, however, even the blue skies were gone, and it looks as if a little more rain might be in our very near future. Hope it isn't the straw that breaks the camel's back, since we've done so well so far. I was sure this weekend was going to be the start of Mudslide Season, but we escaped!

Oh - we had an evening like that - about 5:00 I noticed that even when I looked to the east the world was pink. I called out my circ.desk. clerk and we just stood in the California warmth and let the fairy pink and blue wash us.
Happy knitting Tuesday. It sounds like a perfect day to me.
Oh wow, what an amazing sunrise! Nice capture.
