Morning in the Blue Ridge Mountains

Sunrise at Beagle Gap in Shenandoah Park

The Blue Ridge comes alive!

Here's the Sound Track [click to read] for the sunrise, provided by Lynn. I had a mini-retreat yesterday before work. Watched the sun rise, saw a black bear in the distance and a wild turkey! I'm sorry I wasn't faster with the camera but sometimes you just need to stop and savor the wonder of it all.

It's a wonder you took photos at all! The beauty of it tends to captivate and, as Joy said, it's hard to not believe in God when you see this. Thanks for capturing it for those of us who were still sleeping at that time of the morning.... :)
