This sunrise is seen from the doorstep of my RV. Something to wake up to even if we're not by a lake.
Did I say we're not by a lake? This was taken about 20 feet from my RV, and yes, we are by a small lake. My journey so far has been plotted by one lake and then another. Many of them have been surprises. Who knew Oklahoma was a state of lakes? Louisiana? Or that Mississippi would have dotted its subdivisions with little lakes. This little lake is in the residential development where my son lives and I know my grandchildren have fished in it, but I've never heard about what they've caught. Nevertheless, lakes are good for the soul, even little lakes.
There have been other discoveries here in Mississippi too. Here's a landscape that delighted my eye.
And my palate, since I had not had a latte' in six weeks. You might notice on this cup that I have not only found Starbucks, but I've found a friend there too.
Okay if you're reading my posts, you're probably not here to see pictures of paper Starbucks cups, so here is the best I've got for today.
This is a new shot of the azalea I posted a few days ago. A couple of people commented on it being odd to see an azalea blooming during the fall. So I went back to take a second look, and yes, it is an azalea. And there is a story behind it. This is an "Encore" azalea and it blooms twice yearly, once in the spring and then again in the fall. These azaleas are happy in climates as far north as Ohio, according to a local gardener. They simply have not yet been "discovered."
Since I last walked by, it has been tucked into its winter mulch. Feet warm on the chilly nights, it can smile in the sunshine.
And Chorro and I are looking forward to even warmer temperatures forecast. I understand there will be some outdoor Christmas festivities tomorrow.
And tomorrow is a new day.

Good morning Vagabond Vee (I'm always a day late with my comments, but my computer doesn't seem to be in tune with 'sippi-time.' The sunrise is simply awesome--and what time of the morning would the sun actually rise? I'll be very jealous if you say any time sooner than 7ish. Enyoy your sunny 'fall' days--as a reminder of what you left behind, big fluffy snowflakes are falling, visiility is not quite to the mailbox, and it's a chilly 15 degrees!
I never tire of sunrise pictures! You captured a beautiful one.
