This is my post for Skywatch Friday, a meme for sharing views of the sky from all over the world. To see more, or to join and share your own photos of the sky, click HERE.
On our last morning in Arkansas Betsy and I got up before dawn to watch the sun rise from Gaither Mountain near Harrison, Arkansas. We had traveled over the mountain the previous day and we knew the view was spectacular.
What we didn’t know is that we would be delayed by a road construction project that started before dawn. So the sky was already showing color by the time we got to the overlook (see photo above).

It took a while, but after a while the sun started to put in an appearance.

Later we were able to enjoy the sun in all of its golden glory. What a marvelous way to begin a day.
