So, I'm trying something different today... getting on my bike at 5:45 am and riding to Starbucks, then coming home and continuing my day. I usually get up early anyhow, but then end up sitting at home and reading the internet news and frittering away time. So why not try something different. I'll get my bike ride done in the early morning. I get to have my Starbucks when it's still cool out and a hot chocolate seems reasonable (+25 is a bit warm to have a hot chocolate!). Let's see how it works. I'm not sure about the rest of my morning routine but... let's give this a whirl.
This morning, I wondered if I should take my camera along, as the sun was not up yet and sometimes there are some cool shots... but I didn't... and now I'm kicking myself! The sun isn't up yet, but along the horizon, above where it is, there is a column of light rising into the sky. It looks like it might be some variation of a sundog... and I don't have my camera! Sigh... That will teach me... I should always trust my intuition on that sort of thing...
Just googled it as "sun column" and yup... that's exactly what it is... another atmospheric phenomenon, similar to sun dogs and caused by ice crystals in the atmosphere. Cool... never seen one before... But this means that we have ice crystals in our atmosphere in early May... sigh... Still waiting for spring to spring through the door and take the stage with strength!
