Our beautiful world

Sunrise

Tom Obert rose this morning and took this picture of the sun rising over frozen Lake Darling. He writes: Our niece, who moved to Minnesota from Virginia in December and immediately professed a profound disdain for Minnesota winters, is now getting the last laugh. She reports that "Minnesota nice" has turned into "Minnesota miserable," as all the natives who previously expressed their love of winter to her now have grown weary of its length - as we continue to endure colder than normal temperatures into March.

Sunset
Last night, a mule deer in southern Arizona ambled to the top of a Catalina ridge and watched the sun disappear in the west.
