Wednesday: The clouds completely obscured the sun.
Thursday: After dumping snow, the clouds cleared. Venus can be seen.
Friday: I often leave for work before the sun has risen very far. It's difficult to get a good shot without a flash, but the flash makes everything look much darker.
Friday: I stopped off on the way into work to take a picture as the sun peeked above a group of apartments, revealing the colors that were mostly hidden earlier.
Sunday: I didn't get up early enough this weekend to catch the sunrise, but there was a gorgeous sunset on Sunday just behind my mother-in-law's place.
Monday: A video camera would have captured the sky better on Monday as fast-moving clouds exposed a little pink in the sky occasionally before turning back to blue and gray.
Tuesday: A rather disappointing picture of a moon set.
Thanks, mamacita. I only wish I could take photographs as beautifully as you! :)
A better camera would go a long ways I'm sure, but I know I still lack the talent to capture the shot just right. But it really feels great to get praise from you.
hahaha, you don't need a better camera, you just need to start messing around in photoshop, that's all I do, I swear!
I actually had meant to tell you the smoothie recipe-it's really easy...just take a bag of frozen fruit (I always used raspberries, or mixed berries) and then add like 2-3 cups of low-fat chocolate milk, depending on how thick you want the consistency to be. And I used to add protein powder back in the day when I lived in the U.S. I don't do that here anymore because it's too expensive.

I am enjoying your sunset/sunrise pictures so much!
And I can't believe that some days you are up before sunrise. Insanity woman, insantiy I tell you!

How cyclical. Isn’t it funny how the universe depicts life and vice versa? Perfect harmony amid the chaotic infrastructure…

OG,
Looking at those photos, I got to thinking that one of the things I really love about your blog is that it's somehow so peaceful.
It's bloody relaxing to come by and see what you've posted.
Thanks.

I agree with Lifey's last comment.
Oh Gee, you NEED to get a telescope! One of those that you can link up with your camera. I want to see Venus better.

Kelly: I agree! I tried to mix up my photos a bit, but other than the clouds each day was pretty much like the last (as far as the sunrises went).
Mamacita: I'll have to get a copy of Photoshop from my brother-in-law (he's a pro) and play around with it.
Lifey: Peaceful, me? Really? That's good though because blogging is a great outlet for me.
Evo: Yeah, spot me a couple hundred bucks and I'll think about it. I think I'd rather have a better camera first.

I just came back here to look at the pictures again! It's been raining for 3 days and I just saw an Ark floating down Pico Blvd.

We're having snow today, but it's light.
