That's what my Dad used to say every time we got home from a vacation. Anyway, it's good to be home, even though we had a wonderful time. There was lots of laughing, teasing, playing games, water sports, eating, relaxing, fun family memories... everything that makes for a great family vacation!
In honor of 'Sunset (Sunrise) Sunday', here is a photo I think I actually took last Sunday. This is the view I had from my bed at the back of the houseboat. I'm an early waker upper, so every morning I'd look out the sliding glass door to see if there was a sunrise worth getting out of bed for. Definitely a 'yes' for this one! I had to walk about 5 steps to the back of the boat to take this photo. The brilliant color lasted only about a minute before it faded, and since I was the only early riser in the group, I was the only one who got to start the day with this inspiring scene.

Glad you had fun!
Beautiful Mom!! Wish we were there to enjoy it with you. You take such inspiring photos. I love your gift.
Good grief!!! That sight is so amazing that I would think the end of the world was coming. It looks like fire on the water. Is this unretouched straight out of the camera?
Thankfully you captured it for others to enjoy however!
I am glad you catch these moments or I would not even be aware that that beautiful moment happened.
That's crazy beautiful!! If I were on vacation, I'd be tempted to sleep in & miss the sunrise. As it is, I'm usually up before dawn... so sometimes I'm rewarded by a magnificent show!
:)
Truly breath-taking! What a way to start any day!!
Karen that is truly inspiring scene, and thanks for sharing. Surreal. Anna :)
Beautiful colour, fantastic image
W O W ! Worth getting up early for. Thanks for sharing. Just got back from my trip to Idaho and haven't even downloaded the photos yet. I'm hoping there's a sunset or sunrise worth sharing in there.
Awesome!!
What a reward for being up early. This is the only place normally where I get to see a sunrise - I'm never up early enough ;-)
How very very Stunning .. I Love this one. Perfection
I thank you for each of those five first steps you had to take to share this photo! Lovely.
