I was taking pictures before sunrise on January 19, 2018.

There were soooo many wonderful colors to see!

This is what the clouds in the east looked like at 6:51 AM.

i need to stop here..., and look...

and... i will pose really nicely...

actually two...

On August 22, 2019,

they were getting ready to bloom.

What do you think of it On Black?

Other than rotating and cropping (and sig), there was NO post processing of any kind done to this shot.

This is a single exposure.
