Study in Sunrise
The sun will have to rise without my participation today, the a rose blooming unseen. I'll be leaving the valley more than two hours before the first rays hit the barn roof.
Yesterday, with a light fog and a heavy frost, was the first morning in far too long that I've 'lost myself' in the moment by moment birth of a new day. But even though an experience like this is wonderful and memorable, there is seldom a single subject for the lens to settle on, and images like this one are gathered for the sake of remembering the light--the feel of it, the quiet energy, that will bring back to the photographer the sound of water drops falling as frost melted in the first rays. This kind of image is to bring back the being there, with the emphasis more on being and less on there. Click image for larger view.

Gorgeous, thank you. I miss your photos. But that you can only take them when you feel like it is the whole point, of course.

Great pic where the light has a hypnotic quality. I feel my pulse slowing as I watch.

Ahhh, Fred, you have taken us along with you to share the moment.I can almost hear the birds, the crunch of the grass, cloaked in frost, can nearly smell the newness of the day.
Thank you for sharing.
