Sunrise

Watching the sun rise is an amazing experience. It rises slowly, peeking over a mountain, plain, or sea. Its light begins to erase the darkness.
I still remember last summer when I decided I wanted to watch a sunrise. I looked up the time it would rise, set my alarm carefully, and woke up the next morning full of excitement as I stole out of the house. I climbed the roof of our barn and watched the light emerge. I was awed at how stealthily he climbed upwards. In just a few minutes the sun's shaggy main was over the mountain smiling brightly at all who were awake to see him. Fascinated I managed to pull out my iPod and snap a few pictures, though the lens couldn't capture the glory of it all. The brisk morning air, anticipation, and awe was left with the morning, memories and a few photos are all I've retained. Till another day I watch the sunrise...

Autumn Tree

I know that it is spring now, but the glory of autumn seems to be appropriate to share year round.
I absolutely love the way the sun is shining through this tree. It defines the branches, making them look solid and firm. The leaves glow with the light of the sun, sharing their fiery colors with all who stop and look. I feel like it could be used for so many comparisons, but I'll let you make you're own since that will mean much more for you personally.
