You are my sunshine, my only sunshine.

You are my sunshine is one of my favorite songs. I love sunrises, and they are my favorite time of the day. I love it so much, that I spend my days off getting up early to photograph it.

I have tried to come up with a clever way to say how much I love this time of the day, but I can’t. All I can say is that, when I see the sun peak over the land, that first second or two, gives me a sense of hope, joy and love that I only feel at that precise moment.

This image was taken in one of my new favorite locations. Zach Heaton and I found this location this past summer. I have since gone back twice (with my awesome friend Malinda, who does not mind driving in storms or early mornings). I have one more image I’d like to take there, and then I”ll have four images of this barn with a variety of weather and times of day. I am almost sure I’ll do a blog post on it.

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine

You make me happy when skies are grey

You never know, dear, how much I love you

Please don't take my sunshine away
