‘to-day he puts forth
The tender leaves of hopes; to-morrow blossoms,
And bears his blushing honours thick upon him;
The third day comes a frost, a killing frost,
And, when he thinks, good easy man, full surely
His greatness is a-ripening, nips his root,
And then he falls’

Happy Thursday! We're almost through the week! The star of today was 18 minutes before sunrise when the sky had this very nice combination of design and color, which dissipated shortly afterwards. Tap for full size. I hope you have a great day!
