A holy moly sunrise

I was sleepily doing my morning barn chores one day last week when I stopped to watch the sun come up. I had an inkling that it might be on the spectacular side, so I went to get my camera. I really did shout "holy moly!" when I came back outside.

    Incredible sights! I love the sky reflection in the wheelbarrow, and the fact that you can look right through your barn to the sky on the other side. What a place we live in!

    Hank! How can you stand there staring at the scrub like that? Sheesh. Don't you know when you're in church??

    I, too, love the reflection in the first pic, not just in the water, but even on the fence and the ground. Glowing.

    Like I told Clairz earlier, I can't wait to get down to that NM SKY!

    And I would have stepped it up to Holy Crap or even Holy Shit. The four-leggeds would have agreed.
