Full at 7:13 AM, the view of the moon was nixed by cirrostratus, stratus and altocumulous, a mixed cloud deck that held its place as our planet rotated eastward.
The first hint of the coming sun whispered in glowing pink on the underside of those clouds and progressed through intense salmon into a gold tinged riot of unearthly order. Seraphim on high as water droplet, light and elevation combined to create a sky more beautiful than the divine dreams of any Renaissance artist.
Available for free, I enjoyed this inspired scene through my windshield as I drove eastward from the daily ritual of taking children to school. On westward return, a stunning half-rainbow hung in a sky devoid of storm clouds.
Heaven on earth. Happens most days, just depends where you look.
