Inspiring Photo: November's Dawn #7424090

November's Dawn

Uploaded: November 17, 2008 03:22:59

Description

A quick stop at Starbucks® for a Grande, Extra Hot, Caramel Macchiato and I was off with camera in hand to enjoy a great start to the day! It was quite cold yesterday morning in the Dallas area and that provided for a beautiful early morning sky. And with this terrific fence line I could not help but think of Bill Raco... I have to tip my hat to Bill for inspiring many of us over the years with some amazing images that include a fence!
