My entry for Blue Monday is nothing unusual, but on this day it was quite a sight early in the morning. The mountains often brings some spectacular sunrises. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
If you love blue be sure to get on over to Sally's blog at, Smiling Sally's. You will find lots of blue shared by the many participants who love the color blue. thank you Sally for hosting this fun event.
THINK ABOUT THIS
It's amazing what you can accomplish with a little hard work and a LOT of whining.

Really neat when Mother Nature gives us a gift like that first thing in the morning. It's almost like an "I'm sorry you have to get out of bed and go to work" gift. :)

I never ever get to see sunrises since I'm a late riser. I do watch the sunsets every night on our river...I love them also.
Happy Blue Monday sweet Jeanne.
