Is this a 'shepherd's-warning' 'sun'rise I wonder?

I was still in bed drinking my first cup of tea of the day when, through the window and above the top of the conifer tree, I saw a large band of bright pink suddenly appear. So I got up and found my camera downstairs and, on my return, this was the sky. We had a very sharp frost this morning so I wonder if the sky is a precursor to some snow. (Can you tell that I'm feeling a bit deprived?)

this is a lovely photo Hazel its another fav

[Hazel]

@gerry Thank you, Gerry - this must be the first time I've put a photo on and found that the very first view has been a fav! Thanks as always for your generosity!

[Gerry]

@quietpurplehaze your very welcome Hazel , i do hope the weather improves by the weekend as i would like to take some photos , I will have to upload some fillers later from my big laptop as at the moment my new packard bell has no photos imported to upload to 365 . its a great little netbook i have it does what i need it for . have a nice day

[Nicole]

thats a beautiful sky!!

[Ness Santvoort]

what a beautiful sky, great capture.

[Hazel]

@gerry I have exactly the same feeling about my netbook, Gerry - it does what I need it for, mainly holidays, but also use it at home for 365 and just a few emails, when somebody is on our main computer here.

[Gerry]

@quietpurplehaze snap i use my netbok for the same : - )

[Gemma]

Beautiful colours Hazel. What a dramatic sky ;-)

[Sam]

wonderful sky :))

[David Shimmings]

What an angry sunrise!

[Richard]

wow wonderful colours

[Kate Doyle]

That was worth getting up for! Beautiful sky.

[Hazel]

Yes, it was a beautiful sunrise - possibly the best I've ever seen - but I also agree it was angry! My 'old' camera (which I used for this shot) does sunrise and sunset very well but my 'new' camera is not good. So I also tried some shots with that and put the setting on 'vivid' - you can probably imagine!

[Peter Bunker]

Gorgeous. If this means bad weather - bring it on!!!!

[Hazel]

@hopelessromantic Well we have blue sky and sun so far. I don't know if that little saying has any scientific origin? Have to do a google!

[Peter Bunker]

@quietpurplehaze - I think you'll find it does but I'd be interested to know.

[Sterling Rush]

WOW! Fire in the sky, I hope it's heading our way. We are getting snippets of sun now and then. Can't complain, I've seen 7 or 8 years of it here.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Oh my, what a beautiful sunrise. I would love to wake up to that.

[🐓 Patricia Fletcher]

Wow! Vibrant is the word, just stunning!! Wonderful to wake up to! We are due more snow here in the East on Friday I believe.

[Hazel]

@tishpics Funny you should say that - all the dogwalkers I've met today have been saying we are going to get snow on Friday. (Probably a false warning put about by the met office, I shouldn't wonder!!)

[Roy Cox]

Just brilliant

[Hazel A]

What's a beautiful sunrise. We still have the snow as it has been very cold all day

[Pyrrhula]

We say : Morning red brigs water to the ditches. ( In our language it`s a rhyme ) A wonderful and colorful capture of a beautiful start of the day.

[Hazel]

@pyrrhula Thank you! Is it good to have water brought to the ditches by the morning red sun? Or is it the same as 'Red sky in the morning, shepherds' warning' i.e. bad weather will follow a good sunrise?

[Pyrrhula]

@quietpurplehaze I think it`s the same as yours.: Don`t forget the umbrella

[Hazel]

@pyrrhula We're supposed to be getting SNOW on Friday!

[Christine]

Lovely capture

[Nailah]

Beautiful shot, nice silhouette.

[summerfield]

how can you feel deprived for capturing this beauty? it is always a wonderful feeling having to witness something so beautiful first thing in the morning, never mind what's coming next. thank you for sharing, hazel.

[Nadah]

Beautiful colors :)

[debi]
