Every so often I have trouble sleeping. On this particular morning this past July I woke at 3:00 AM. Got up and made a visit to the bathroom then tossed and turned for the next hour. I finally turned on the desk lamp and opened my journal in an attempt to find out what was stirring inside. Finally, around 4:15 I jumped in the shower,dressed, grabbed the camera and tripod and headed east to meet the morning sun. It’s then I realized it’d been a while since I went in search of the morning sun. I think that was the reason for waking early and much needed for the soul. No radiant colors but only the subtle pink glow of the low lying clouds.
