I was out at 6:30 this morning and as the sun rose above the trees it fell upon the tiny plants and forest floor in a magical way. Here are a few photos...

Terrific! Wish I could haul myself out of bed at that hour.

Most of those other critics are dead wrong, Tess. It's the water lilies, dammit.

Monet's got nuthin' on you - well, almost.
Really nice - beautifully crisp, and wonderous saturated colors.
Thanks for sharing.
