I am Oz, Great and Powerful

Who are YOU?

Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!

Anytime I see color these days, I am happy. Not enough color in my life in the winter. But when the sun comes up, usually the gorgeous and warm looking sunrises do not disappoint. They are such an amazing start to my day and warm my soul.
The branches take on an almost human appearance when bathed in such gorgeous early morning light. Quite evocative.

Definitely soul warming!

I love the silhouette of the branches against the color of the sky. And that ring around the sun - just gorgeous!

I agree 100%. There's nothing like sunlight to warm the soul especially during chilly weather. Fav on this beautiful capture.

Beautiful golden glow! The sun definitely makes winter a little more tolerable.

I like how the branches filter the light.

Love the title. Lovely.

is color the theme this week? I never saw an announcement.
January 29th, 2015  
@bill_fe Yes, I think it ran on Sunday earlier than usual.

@fuseast Here was what your mention of Wizard of Oz inspired. Thanks for that!

Lovely sunny shot through the trees. How's the job going. Are you managing to fit it all in? Hard with 365 and a young family.

@amandal I've searched the themes and competitions all the way back to the story teller announcement, haven't found it.

Beautiful! I'm with you, colors other than grey are in short supply in Winter.
January 29th, 2015  
Great colors for what I'm sure is a cold winter day!

Great compositition
January 29th, 2015  
Wonderful colors...the branches make neat patterns against the light
January 29th, 2015  
If only I can get out at the time when the sun comes out.... this is beautiful

Great photo with fabulous colours - although wasn't Oz some kind of lurid green?
January 29th, 2015  
@fueast He may have been. I thought he resembled the sun, but perhaps was greenish and sick looking.:)
January 29th, 2015  
great title
January 29th, 2015  
such a welcoming sight

@neatz Anita, it's hard. Part of me wants to throw my hands up and cry Uncle. I had way too much free time before and now way too little. I'm exhausted, Clara is struggling with me being gone a bit from her, I can't fit in photos, or working out or...The adjustment is kicking my butt. Hope to figure it out, get adjusted and get into a groove again. I don't know how mama's do full time.

Awesome shot, Amanda. Love the colors and your humor as well. I sat in my backyard with my cat and the ferrel cat we feed today for almost 2 hours. Took photos of the cats, birds, neighbors tree that is blooming and a plane that flew by a bit too high though. It is so Spring here and warmed up too. Rain, we need rain. I hope to capture a beautiful sunset tonight. Behind on posting and commenting. FAV

Fabulous capture of the sunrise--I love all the criss crossing branching, too!
