Today’s Photo Friday challenge prompt is Sunrise. Sigh. I have plenty of sunset photos, but being the extreme non-morning person that I am, I can’t say that I’ve ever been both awake AND in a photo-taking mood at sunrise (no matter how wondrous the sight may have been). So, sadly, I’m afraid I have no beautiful photo with which to dazzle you today.
However! All is not completely lost, as several months back when the same word was in play as a prompt for the Photo A Day Challenge, I rose to the occasion by tangling my own loose interpretation of a sunrise.
So, for what it’s worth, here it is.
Maybe one of these days when I’m up early (HA!) I’ll remember to stop and snap some photos of the glorious sunrise as it develops before me.
But considering that the only time I’m ever awake at such a time is under extreme necessity – say, to catch a plane, or maybe to get someone booked into the hospital for surgery – well, I wouldn’t bother holding your breath.
Thank goodness there are plenty of talented Photo Friday participants who are also, apparently, morning people. Check them out!
Do you prefer mornings, afternoons, or evenings?
Please share!

Your Zentangle sunrise is quite nuce, Laurel. Don’t underestimate the power of your art 🙂

Oh, this is too funny! I chose NOT to participate in this week’s Photo Friday challenge for the exact same reasons you mentioned! Of course, you had this lovely alternative. Kudos to your creativity – it’s lovely! Have a good weekend. 🙂

Love it, Debbie! I almost skipped doing the post, but then remembered my earlier tangled design, so decided to go for it anyway.

Very nice alternative and very creative. Thinking outside the box is what you seem to be doing. Good job.

That’s a creative way to escape a morning sunrise snapshot Laural! 😉 Love your creative take on it though: that’s quite the zentangle! 🙂 <3

Anything to get a few extra hours of sleep! 😉

I love that sunrise tangle! How creative. I’m usually up for the sunrise but I’m not in a place where I can take any pictures of anything but houses and trees around me. One of these days I’ll get up and get dressed and go for a little drive and catch some photos of the sunrise. Yeah. As if.

Even I don’t have many sunrise pictures… I am really not a morning person, but I am scrazy about sunsets 😀
