Bird in Tree at Dawn

red dawn

These pictures were taken Thursday morning. About 20 minutes apart. In the picture above the sun hadn't quite risen over the horizon yet and there was still a strong shift towards the long wavelength end of the spectrum. By 7:50am, below, the sun was just rising over the tree line in the background and much of the red was chased out of the sky.

It was a pretty dawn but by 9am it was raining and the clouds never left all day long.
