As the sun rose and began to touch the lower regions and valleys, it gave a soft backglow to a bank of trees. The soft morning fog of the Smokies forming added a mystical mood to the scene unfolding. It was yet another reminder to me of the ever changing grandeur of our natural world and that this scene will be different seconds from now. But I couldn’t help but focus on a particular tree.

A newer green leaf among older decaying leaves made a nice still life with contrasting sunlight and shade.

I like the brightness of the white light behind the flower and the details exposed in the flower’s petals.
A beautiful red glow from sunlight through a high window with a dark background.
Backlighting gives a nice glow along the edges while a soft glow in front lets detail of the catcus come through.
