Day 265/365 September 22 2026
The progression of dawn to Sol’s arrival on the Autumnal Equinox. The oak tree serves as an anchor and framing point. Unmoving markers create a personal StoneHenge to catalog a solar calendar. Take time to notice and make a personal StoneHenge #LakeMiltona #sunrise2026

Day 264/365 September 21 2026
The sun rises at the same location as this date last March. Tomorrow is the official equinox, but many celebrate on the twenty first always. Autumn has begun. Notice everything is full and ripe and ready for harvest
Almost as colorful as Spring #LakeMiltona #sunrise2026

Day 263/365 September 20 2026
Daylight over the wing tip. Two days until the Autumnal Equinox. Equal hours of light and dark then days continue to shorten. Traveling west elongates the day. There will still be hours of daylight remaining at home
Chores to be done #returning #LakeMiltona #sunrise2026

Day 261/365 September 18 2026
A very colorful dawn as Sol rises to chase off the early morning thunderstorms. Hours earlier the sky was ignited with lightning and thunder and gentle rain. Fair weather replaces the storms for the day. Thirsts quenched. Re-energized. #away #LakeMiltona #sunrise2026

Day 260/365 September 17 2026mor ing breaks with Helios marking a reflection off the clouds. The light bounces onto the water like a carpet runner bidding travelers welcome. These clouds are approaching and will alter the forecast to “partly cloudy” SPF still needed #away #LakeMiltona #sunrise2026

Day 259/365 September 16 2026
From a distance the trees looked like sunrise watchers in lawn chairs waiting for Sol. Light is reflected off cumulus clouds on the horizon. A bright day ahead. Most of it spent on or near the water. Easy to do on an island. Water is life #away #LakeMiltona #sunrise2026

Day 258/365 September 15 2026
Sunset clouds were like purple jellyfish tentacles dangling as the moved east. This morning’s clouds rise high and point to the west showing the sun the direction it travels. These clouds against the blue sky could be a Magritte painting #away #LakeMiltona #sunrise2026

Day 257/365 September 14 2026
The first colors at sunrise. Far out on the horizon a billowing cloud reflects and shows the direction of the approaching sun. Can’t tell if the cumulus cloud is approaching or retreating. Matters not. No rain in the forecast. Autumn even away #LakeMiltona #sunrise2026

Day 256/365 September 13 2026
Indirect sunrise over the water. Needed to peek around the corner to catch a glimpse of Sol poking through the trees on the hillside. Sometimes greeting the dawn is delayed by geography and topography
The always begins with sunrise
Even away from #LakeMtona #sunrise2026

Day 255/365 September 12 2026
Dawn begins. Only ten days until Autumnal Equinox. Then fall is fully upon us. The sun travels but is still constantly present
It is still there in different states, different continents, different countries
Light gives life and hope even #away #LakeMiltona #sunrise2026

Day 254/365 September 11 2026
Dawn breaks with clouds on the distant horizon. They are retreating as fair weather feathery clouds replace them. The cattails along the shore still murmur with throngs of blackbirds and other’s readying for a road trip. Travel season begins #LakeMiltona #sunrise2026

Day 253/365 September 10 2026
Amber glow at the horizon. Primordial mist flowing across the water. Clear skies. Quiet but for the chirping birds assembled in cattails along the shore. Great flocks gossiping and poised to take wing. They will rise with the sun. Anticipation #LakeMiltona #sunrise2026

Day 252/365 September 9 2026
Ten minutes yields subtle changes in color and texture at sunrise. The sky and water were tinged pink then orange as the clouds frame the light
Ten minutes later a fish jumps as Sol appears over the trees
White wispy clouds show as light changes #LakeMiltona #sunrise2026

Day 251/365 September 8 2026
Rain retreats as morning breaks. We can see clearly now. For a while. Clouds will return. Summer is ebbing quickly. It has burst with ripeness and wonder. Green will slowly fade or be covered by colorful leaves. A new season is ready for stories #LakeMiltona #sunrise2026

Day 250/365 September 7 2026
Helios chases the clouds away. “Enough!” says he. “One day of this long weekend demands clear sky and sun”. For some. In some places. Perhaps. Hazy skies offer compromise. Southerly wind bringing warmth and perhaps rain later
Fingers are crossed #LakeMiltona #sunrise2026

Day 249/365 September 6 2026
Another overcast sunrise. Lighter skies so less chance of much rain, though it is needed. This the penultimate day of the last weekend of the summer. Signs of Autumn begin to show
Some cabins will be closing soon, remaining dormant until spring #LakeMiltona #sunrise2026

Day 248/365 September 5 2026
Eurus, the east wind, bringer of storms blusters in the face of those seeking the sunrise. Fog and clouds shroud the color & light, creating greyscale scenes interrupted by the green grass and trees. Full flowers break the bleakness
Still summer #LakeMiltona #sunrise2026

Day 247/365 September 4 2026
A very foggy sunrise. A chilly mist covers the water and the land. Note the tall visitor on the neighbor’s dock. Slowly walking to the edge to peer further into the fog before taking flight. Sky and water are one this morn. Almost no separation #LakeMiltona #sunrise2026

Day 246/365 September 3 2026
Sunrise over a ripened cornfield. A few rows have been picked. It is peak season in fields and gardens and hedgerows. Bean fields yellowing. Bird flocks gathering. A season is about to change. Summer ebbs to Autumn. Make the most of these days #LakeMiltona #sunrise2026
