Things that make me smile - Part 1 Bellevue Sunrise and Sunset

Lately there seems to be so much bad news every way you turn. From personal tragedy, to hard times financially, to fighting battles on the health front. So many seem touched by unhappiness, stress and sadness.

I thought I would share some photos of the things that make me smile and lighten my day when things have gotten me down. I found so many that I am going to have to do a series of “Things that make me smile”.

Part 1 –  Bellevue Sunrise and Sunset 

A beautiful sunrise is a great way to start the day and with small children I seem to get to see a lot of them! This one tinged everything a lovely shade of pink for ages.

An intriguing misty morning circled by fog that rolled in as the sun rose. A wonderful peaceful feeling.

It is amazing what you notice after a heavy morning mist. Surprises everywhere. On the fences, in the bushes and on the ground.

And then there are the sunsets! Every one so very different but all spectacular. We are so very lucky as there are few that beat our Bellevue sunsets but of course I am a little biased.
