Reflective Sunrise & Pastel Sunset

For Skywatch Friday this week, here are two photos from opposite times of the day and opposite sides of my house. First last Thursday's sunrise, showing the sun reflecting off the snow thrown by my snowblower in the front yard.
And here's Saturday's sunset, in natural soft colors, from our back deck.
For lots of wonderful skies, visit the Skywatch Friday meme every week.

    Both gorgeous! I really like how the morning sun glints on the snow. You seem to have a big viewed neighborhood.

    It is son nice to see eloquent photographs of wide open spaces draped in colors of rising and setting suns. You are a terrific photographer. I've never gotten the knack of good landscape photography, clearly you have!
