Last evening I was reviewing the morning's sunrise and found there was an instant when the rising sun bathed the atmosphere is an unusual royal hue. I was making breakfast at the time and only remember the colors heightening outdoors (the kitchen looks north).
The ice/sleet on the ground has resisted melting by the warmer days though the deep snow that was atop it is mostly gone. It'll take a few more pleasant days to completely remove this winter scene.
Anyway, as I reviewed the security cam video the colors intensified and the scene became bathed in a vivid purple. It is an unusual color for sunrise (or sunset for that matter). The scene did not last long - mere minutes - and the colors quickly became more traditional.
This just points out how important it is to keep an eye on the world at all times. It may present these wonders to us that are short-lived and only to those aware enough to be on constant lookout. Of course even I didn't see this. Only the camera did. But it is a good stand-in when we are busy.
[Note: I believe now that purple sunrise was actually the IR night filter the camera uses in low light]
