Risen and Shining

I sure am loving the later sunrise time! So nice to be up and witness the beginning of a new day. The sounds are so heavenly as all the birds sing their praises for the new day. If you look close there is a bird on the tree out there by the sun.

Awesome shot with the sun directly behind the tree! Great colors in the sky in contrast with the other trees in silhouette!

I never was a morning person. But as years passed and I got older, I'd much rather enjoy the beginning of a new day!! Very nice capture Vicki!!

It is just such a wonderful time of the day. Wonderfully composed, Vicki - from the leaves in the foreground to the mountain in the background!

@skipt07 I really enjoy the mornings too. So nice to sit and relax and slowly wake up...especially when it is like this outside. Not always the case here in Oregon!

[Linda Lorraine]

I enjoy this time of year for the same reason. Love the sun behind the tree...

[Vicki Dixon]

@nana2r In the distance there is a hwy and I pretend the sound of the cars are waves from the ocean...so you can just pretend it is an ocean sunrise...

[Pam]

Beautiful golden tones. It almost looks like the bird is watching the sun come up.
