Like the First Morning

The morning sun burned through the mist creating a wonderful light.

I couldn't believe my eyes this morning when I saw that my photo "The Eye" made the #1 spot on the Top Twenty list. What an honor and a thrill! I also learned that "The People's Tree" won the theme of the week challenge, a first. A very special day, one that I could never have imagined possible when I began this project. Thank you all for your comments, favs, and support. You have made this experience so very special for me.
