BRILLIANT SUNRISE

Brilliant doesn't really describe the sunrise this morning and pictures never do it justice...
Morning such a beautiful time; I feel blessed that I have to get out in the morning to walk the dog.  This morning, at about 6:15, I took him out for a second walk as Linda was leaving, and the sky was just beginning to be red.  When we turned around to come back in, my breath was taken away by the brilliant sky!



All of the birds are beginning to claim their territory and it's quite cacophonous first thing in the morning.  As we stepped out of the house today, we were greeted by the calling of our resident Carolina Wren, sitting in a tree right close to the door. Linda & I call the Carolina Wren the "teakettle" bird because it says, "Teakettle, teakettle, teakettle, tea."  They are amazingly loud for such a small bird -- sure gets your attention!   Our Teakettle bird always leads the way in the morning.  If I remember correctly from last year, later the robins will sing first.

Saturday morning Blake & I were greeted by the calling of a Great Horned Owl.  Nice...  I do like to listen to the owls.  We are still hearing and seeing our little Eastern Screech Owl.  We are hoping that there are two of them and one is tending a nest in that hole!
