It amazes me sometimes how beauty in everyday things can be taken for granted. The rising sun, how Stephanie's face lights up when she smiles, the tranquility of my cat when he sleeps. All these things I see very day, but life's pressures and constant motion can just whip you right by. I was really wracking my brain the last few hours of work today, trying to think of something to shoot. I think it's these average days that will be the toughest. On the way home I happened to look into the eastern sky, and was struck by the simplicity and beauty of the rising sun. I've been on third shift for 3 months now, but never before took the time to take in the sunrise. It's amazing what you can see when you look.

Ahhh... the sunrise, and the sunset.... I miss them so. Living in Oregon makes it hard to see a "true" sunset or sunrise. Back when I lived on the coast of NC I photographed thousands of them but not one since I moved to Oregon. To many things in the way... mountains, trees, houses. It is nice to see a simple "true" sunrise again.
Beautiful picture bud. You keep looking and appreciating things like that. Thank God for each day. love Dad
