One of my goals for the New Year was to wake up early and greet each day with a fresh and open mind. The best way for me to do this was to wake before the sun and watch her beautiful rays wave hello to the moon. Dave and I had been spending our final two months in San Diego walking the Ocean and Bay each morning- taking in every last bit of the bold colors that lit up our mornings.

I had completely forgotten about the natural brilliance of each of these sunrises until I was recently looking back through old photos. Photos of course, will never do any justice to the wonders of the sky. I adore how each sunrise and sunset is different and show’s off a different color pattern than the day or night before.

Here are a few of my favorite mornings.

San Diego, I love you and your colorful sky, forever.
