Stunning Superior

The sunrise was brilliant this morning. A bright red and pink sky over Lake Superior. It was one of those sunrises that make you say "wow" when you finally see the whole thing. I was running around trying to find my camera when I caught a glimpse of the ruby red sky.

However, looks can be deceiving. We are embarking on a 2-day canoe trip today and that red sky also means that there are some serious clouds in the area likely to make us wet. This is not so good. It gives way to the paradox that sometimes the very thing that is required to create the beauty is also the thing that you don't want to have happen. A clear sky might not have been as spectacular but it would have been dry. I suppose we'll see if it was worth it because it was one heck of a sunrise.
