Sunrise










Our home sits high, opposite mountains across the highway, and facing south. With no eastern-exposure windows, sunrise surprises have been minimal over our many decades here.

We disliked seeing the demise of a gorgeous tree in our yard, except for the fact that it was becoming obstructive to one of our northeast windows, a precious source of light. When finally we made the decision to send it to Hemlock Heaven, look above to see what awaited us on the other side!

Granted, it's tough to beat even a cloudy-morning Maui sunrise (below), captured a few years ago. But hey, I'm inspired whenever I am gifted in such a way!
