Trees at sunrise in Stayton Oregon

Guest photographer Dorothy Loftin did this thing where she went outside during sunrise and took today’s beautiful photo. I’m personally not terribly familiar with sunrises, as I much prefer to be where I can see them, since my bed doesn’t have an eastern view. Dorothy’s description:

A quick step outside this morning provided a serene feeling. I’ve watched these trees be planted, grown, Mostly harvested, and then break as the winter ice and the winds of the Valley wreck havoc upon them. This morning they were illuminated by the light of a new day.

Thanks, Dorothy!
