Morning Sunrise

I miss the morning sunrises of the Colorado plains. I would rise early and drive east looking for solitary objects to place against the sometimes vibrant or pastel colors along the horizon. I find myself drawn to the trees that stands naked and exposed on cold wintery mornings.

Retired. Having fun with photography. Journal daily. Meditate daily. Learning haiku/poetry. Have a love for fountain pens.

    I am crazy about bare trees and happy to know that another shares my passion for them. This is a wonderful capture of a sunrise. Have you printed this? I am betting that it would be outstanding.

    Monte: This looks like a Texas morning! Very similar. I used to like to do that as there was almost endless sky punctuated by the occasional live oak.

    Monte (wow a typo just created Monet out of your name), not a bad slip up.
    I love this image. I went with Susan out onto the plains and one of my enduring memories of Colorado and the USA are these kinds of scenes and the skies. In fact I thought I had never seen skies like that in New Zealand, or clouds for that matter, but the truth is they are here, I had never really looked at them. Familiarity breeds contempt.
    I have America to thank for opening my eyes to so many things, that I now see and value in New Zealand. I miss Colorado, maybe not the fickle weather,I loved the land…………
