What a wonderful way to start the day!!!

This has been a rollercoaster and half day on DPC. I started out the day on an extreme high only to be knocked down. My Tribute challenge entry finished 16th. I was thrilled and my Free Study entry was at 6.75. I was on top of the world, so to speak. Well, then I hit the refresh button and my score dropped to 6.41. Ten minutes later I hit again and my score was 6.000. Again, approximately 10-15 minutes later, it was 5.300. Then it hit 5.000. All of this with very few votes. the first drop was with no change in the numbers voting. then the drop from 5.3 to 5.0 was again with no change in the vote count. Needless to say, I was bummed. Well, here it is 7 pm and my score is 5.9667; I can live with that. Now to just maintain it through this next week. Well, here is a shot from my front porch. The sunrise was spectacular.
