I tried but could not capture the beauty of the dawn yesterday. I just loved the atmosphere when standing outside looking across our valley.

There was a bit of a haze that looked like it went above the homestead.

Then, within seconds the sky became pink.

This was the view about half an hour later.

Before going inside I captured two photos of our end-of-summer roses.

A short time later I took an envelope to the mailbox and again noticed the sky.

While taking the previous photo, I hear a sound that told there was a small plane somewhere overhead. It was heading north where the sky was clear.
