\"sunrise_tree_32667\"<\/a>It’s been longer than I can remember since I’ve been out to capture a sunrise.\u00a0 It’s about time to start doing that more often, and yesterday was a new beginning for me.\u00a0 I was initially discouraged since the sky was mostly covered with dense clouds, but the horizon held some promise.\u00a0 I stopped for a cappuccino at B&J and headed east.\u00a0 This is what I found developing.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"sunrise_tree_32890\"<\/a>After a couple of minutes of this, the colors began to wane and I headed back to town satisfied.\u00a0 This was a fantastic way to start getting back into the swing of things.\u00a0 I’m going through my selection of GPS waypoints and other notes to recall suitable foreground objects for sunrise silhouettes, and as the sky cooperates I hope to bring more sunrises home with me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
