Lake Huron Sunrise

I rose early, before the sun, so I'd be there to welcome it. Seagulls and other water birds were on the beach and perching on rocks in the water, also facing the pink glowing sky, as if they had the same thought in mind. The sun arrived slowly, the eastern sky becoming more and more saturated with color, changing from pink to rose to orange. A tiny sliver of gold shone above the horizon as the waiting birds preened their feathers and grew restless in anticipation. Suddenly, the tiny sliver of gold changed to a glowing ball of light. The birds greeted the sun and one another with their calls, then we all headed out into the newborn day.
