A sunrise illuminates the morning fog in the valley, as the sun comes above the horizon. For those who wait patiently, the fog will lift and dissipate to reveal the valley and mountain scenery before us.
There are times in our lives when we see things more clearly and begin to understand how we may not have been fully aware of some truth that has always been present about ourselves.Perhaps it is best to not spend all that much time berating ourselves for not previously seeing more clearly. Instead, we can celebrate the beauty of our new awareness and choose a better way, in light of that which has been revealed.

A composite of two of my favorite places along the Blue Ridge Parkway. Long range views of the mountains and resting by the waterfall soothes my soul. There is something powerful for me when I spend a few moments completely immersed in the moment while experiencing mountain landscapes. There is a sense of Presence that at once, both relaxes me and challenges me to new growth as a person.
As a Nature Photographer, I am restored whenever I hike with camera in hand and breathe fresh air on the mountain tops or stroll along the riverbanks. I have learned that we need times alone to be fully present with others.
