What a beautiful morning in Simcoe County! As opposed to the overcast skies that have been greeting us in the mornings lately it was nice to finally see a brilliant sunrise for a change. :) I began the day trying to photograph the full moon then moved on to the stellar sunrise. Unfortunately we were on the road when the best part of the sunrise was developing. We saw a beam of lovely red light shooting straight up into the air, something we have never seen before. Although I missed capturing the beam of light I was still able to get many great images just before I had to start work. I can't think of a better way to begin the day.
We would like to dedicate today's nature shot to Kelly's Mom, Terry!! Happy birthday Mom!!! Love you!! :) xoxoxoxo
