Walked out the door this morning in shorts and t-shirt. When my body hit the 62 degree weather, I turned right around and went back in the house for my jacket. Then my trusty bike and I hit the road looking for a good shot of the sunrise. All I got was this. The clouds to the north had better colors. That shot is posted in the sunrise thread.

Saw Daisy and Donald while I was waiting for the sunrise.
