The Edge of Summer

Uploaded: August 01, 2013

Description

I found this Trumpet Vine growing wild along the creek last week – I decided to try a low profile silhouette at sunrise with this to accentuate the details of the vine with the orange morning sky - a Caffè Breve with 2 raw sugars paired nicely with this sunrise!

Technicals (as always) spot-on and presentation just beautiful, Jeff. Amazing sunrise colors - your location in Big D with the wonderful creek behind your house presents so many photo opps - and you sure know how to take advantage of them...in style - caffe breve, no less! :) :) #10792196

I enjoy how you take these sun rises and sun sets to be an important part of your day and to wait for it with a cup of joe. That setting things up, knowing what you want to achieve, the the perfect time comes and your so ready. As a result you bring us some of the most splendid and beautiful pictures as you have done here. The colors, that glow, the way you have the vine coming across and down with the sun in the perfect spot. Your other picture with the plane is just as beautiful. Stunning, well developed, beauties my friend. #10792253
