My hubby, Homer Steedly, took this awesome shot just before the sunrise over the Blue Ridge Mountains in North Carolina as he was hiking in the area. This photo was taken from the Blue Ridge Parkway. Even though it looks like we added layers digitally, this is really the way the Blue Ridge Mountains look! Especially when the morning light is highlighting the distance mountains.

“Arise, oh world,
The sun is here,
Earth’s beauty now adorning,
In the early hours of first light,
birds welcome in the morning.
Violet hues are now becoming bright,
first dark to pink, then orange to blue,
and glistens now in welcomed light,
like diamonds shines the dew,
The air is crisp and welcomed in,
by creatures great and small,
for now that morning has chased the night,
the day begins for all.” by Paul Morrow
I love this beautiful image Tibby!
