What a sunrise means to me


Is it even possible to put into words what it means to me to watch a sun rise? I have thought about it for several days now and I believe I can sum it up like this: I did more living in those few minutes than most people did all weekend. I watched the Creator of this world mix a palette of colors for me and cast them across the sky above this bayou in north Warren County. And it happened so quickly that it can take your breath away! He starts out with dark blues and purples, then adds a touch of orange, then dabs on bits and pieces of yellow just before throwing a whole can of golden flakes across the water! Wow! All the while, the clouds are billowing, the warm air drifts across the grass and water, the sounds of nature compete for my attention. And through it all, a lone heron makes its way across the sky (look for it in one of the photos!).

Oh, Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder, consider all the worlds thy hands have made....

Sunrise on Saturday, March 20

These are two photos taken of Saturday's spectacular sunrise display. The top was taken on Oak Ridge Road at the Newitt Vick gravesite before the sun had topped the horizon and the next one was about 20-30 minutes later on Hwy. 80 past Bovina. Look at the fog covering the field in the Bovina photo. Beautiful! Now that's what I call going to church!

Mississippi sunrise

One of my favorite places to shoot the sunrise is on the levee along the Yazoo River up Hwy. 61 North. A couple of bayous up there are the perfect setting to see a new day dawn. This was shot on Saturday, Oct. 24, with friends Robert Walker, Jerry Rushing and Ritch Southard. Folks, it just doesn't get any better than this.
