One of the benefits of getting up early is the chance to see night turning to day. This morning after working out (yes, I'm bragging again) I went up to the Vinoy lobby for my usual coffee, newspaper and conversation.
At one point I looked out the window and saw that the sky was the most beautiful shade of blue. It had been raining when I drove over this morning, so my last view was rainy and yucky - now there's this deep, intensive blue.
It was enough to make me get up from my paper, get my camera, go out through the French doors to the verandah and try to capture the blueness. I think I did.

Sharon, what an awesome blue as the day begins. You DID capture it, and thanks for sharing it with us.
Sharon, That is a striking shade of blue. Beautiful photo. Looks like a wonderful place to enjoy coffee early in the morning.
Gary - you're welcome. It was one of those unique moments.
Shirley - come join me for coffee anytime.
