I took a photo the night of January 7th, but fell asleep before I posted so my apologies.    I happen to notice this moon and ignored the houses and just noticed the trees.   I thought that the trees looked gorgeous with that little bit of a moon that was peeking through the trees.     The moon is a nice accent, but I love the branches and how bare and beautiful they look.    Even without its gorgeous coat of leaves, this tree is quite a beautiful specimen.   If I could remember this as I try to decide if I need additional mascara!

This morning on my way to work I was driving down LaGrange, as I typically do and I had my camera ready to go.   I drive over the I & M Canal at the perfect time each day and see some of the most gorgeous sunrises and I always wish I wasn't traveling at 50+ mph.       One of these mornings I am going to park along the road farther down and try to have the nerve to stand on the 6" walkway to take a photo off the bridge.

Here is the image I got this morning, the colors where glorious.     I was the only one in the lanes and already had my camera ready to go so all I had to do was slowdown and snap, snap.   Look at that sunrise...gorgeous.    

Photography makes me realize that moments like this come and go each day, I just have to be on the lookout for them and not be in such a hurry to get to work, make dinner, fold the clothes.     I have to be on the lookout for these beautiful little moments whether it is a landscape photo, dancing with my sons or playing rummy with my daughter.   They are all potentially sunrise worthy moments.
