#2347 "Pink Singleton Spring Sunrise"

It was a beautiful spring sunrise looking eastward from beside the old shagbark hickory at Singleton. The deformation zones evident in the bands of thin cirrostratus were pointed northward in the morning sky. There were multiple layers of moisture in that warm conveyor belt and each intersected with the deformation zone skin to create it own rosy arch.

The cold conveyor belt helped to explain the widespread frost and the chilly temperatures the previous night. The gravity waves in the patchy stratocumulus revealed the easterly winds at the level of the clouds.

The weather story was for heavy rain later in the day. The sky confirmed that forecast. The conveyor belt conceptual model is perhaps the most important construct in meteorology.

I always enjoy the tall white pines that line Long Reach Lane. They poked up into the sunrise light. The snow and ice had melted from the field. The deer herd were happily grazing the front yard. The deer barely even raise their head to look at me anymore. The flock of turkeys was with the deer as well. Everybody was safe in the Singleton Sanctuary.
