Friday, 9 December: Painters, alert! African skies at dawn
I popped the camera into one pocket and the dogs' ball into another before leaving for my walk at 4.45am this morning. These shell-pink and pale turquoise skies on the corner of Marais and Roper Streets are an invitation to be painted. And the dogs' had fun with the ball.
Chasing an extra-bouncy rubber ball was warm work.
Have a good day watching skies with Skywatch.

Gorgeous puffs of pink sailing along in the sky! But I see your dogs are far more interested in the fun of a bouncy ball! They look so handsome!
That would indeed be a lovely sky to paint, Eleanor! On a nice heavy watercolour paper, watching the colours merge into the wash ... especially on a warm morning. If I tried here at that time the glorious starry constellations would be above me, and icicles would form on my paintbrush!
Your right that would make a beautiful painting. Love the shot with both the dogs in it. Hope you have a wonderful weekend.
Beautiful dogs Eleanor. Thanks for visiting and leaving a comment.Hope you have a great weekend and your sky shot is wonderful.
Good job you didn't throw the camera :)
The sunrise is spectacular...
Mesmerizing indeed.
Those are lovely friends for company. Thanks for the lovely comment at my blog.
Oh how I've often wished I could paint the beautiful skies at sunrise/sunset.
Those dogs are lucky to have someone to play with them so EARLY.
Beautiful sky ! but I suppose the dogs were more interested in their ball !
Hello Eleanor,
A very prosperous and healthy new year for you. What a beautiful sky again. Is Gal wearing pink nowadays? :-)))
Greetings from very cold Netherlands.

Five in the morning!!? I guess that's why I miss a lot of sunrises. :-D Still, it's a beautiful sky so maybe I should get up earlier and catch one of my own.

Great photos...beautiful sky..(nice dogs too!)
And a equally lovely sunrise to just enjoy!
Hi Eleanor!
Beautiful sky photo!
Wow you are up early in the morning!
Enjoy the rain, it was so!!! hot the last few days!
"voorspoedige Nuwejaar" vol liefde, magic en geluk!! Happy New Year!!

Happy and tired dogs who have been ball chasing are always a welcome sight.
As beautiful as that sky is, Eleanor, I think what is much more beautiful are those two dogs! They are wonderful, and I'm sure they are equally wonderful friends.

You caught a beautiful sunrise too! Thanks for visiting me. Your dogs are gorgeous. Looks like it was fun playing with them.

Hallo my dear Friend! Today is a "snow day" again in New York and the kids are playing outside in their snow suits. With a rare quiet moment, Anneke was able to look up your blog - what a lovely surprise! IT IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! Miss you very much. Deo volente I'll be back on the 25th. Fish on the 27th? Its wonderful here (no crime at all in Pleasantville!) and to be with my family - we're having many good times. I'm looking forward to seeing all my SA friends again. Lots of love, also from Anneke & family, Leone x0x0x0x0x0x
