One of the things I enjoy most in life, is watching the sun rise.  It’s even better when I am enjoying it with my loved ones, and I have my camera.

This past Saturday morning, Zach and I woke up at 4am, grabbed our camera gear and headed out. Kelly and Ed Heaton joined us, and the four of us set out to capture the sunrise over Amish country.  Once we arrived in our location, we all found our spots, and we settled in to watch the sun rise.  It’s mornings like this, that really puts things into perspective for me. I love watching the earth light up, and the colors come alive.  Sunrise is the prefect time of day for me to my mind and just enjoy the moment.
