Sunrise

Overnight, I had trouble sleeping due to severe stomach cramps. I barely had any sleep and not to mention my upstairs neighbors were blasting their television at 6:18 AM. They were watching American Dad and you could hear the dialogue loud and clear, not only in my apartment but in the building stairwell. I couldn't fall back asleep due the cramps and hearing every word of American Dad. I decided to walk to the store to get some Coca-Cola to settle my upset stomach and a couple other things. As I walked to the store, it was slowly becoming light outside and I noticed the sun rising among the glowing clouds. I barely get the chance to see an actual sunrise and I decided to take some pictures. Sometimes it's worth getting out of the apartment.

Wishing for an early spring...

With all this warm weather making an early appearance, it makes me want for an early Spring. I am so sick of this cold-warm-cold rollercoaster weather. I just want it to be warm in the 60-75 range all the time. Here are some pictures taken over the past two years to get you in the springtime mood.

Full moons rising

I have always been fascinated by the sight of the full moon. Last Friday coming home from work at dusk, I noticed the almost full moon (known in scientific terms as "waxing gibbous" moon) rising amongst the bare tree branches and dark lavender sky. Had to take a picture:

A glowing yellow dot amongst bare branches.

Earlier tonight I noticed the full moon glowing amongst the increasing clouds. A big bright yellow dot rising from the rooftops and bare tree branches. I tried to get a good picture, but it was difficult with all the streetlights (damn light pollution) and the zoom focus on my Samsung is not as great (my previous cell phone-a Nokia had great zoom power). This is the best one:
