"With each sunrise He erases the darkness of yesterday...
Say Good Morning"

  Sunrise Beach, Gig Harbor, Washington 
April 2001

I'm not a morning person.  In my quest for inspirational scenes I realized that I had many sunsets, but no sunrises.  So one early April morning, I set my alarm to arise at 4:30 am and drive out to Sunrise Beach where I knew there was a distant view of Mt. Rainier beyond the Port of Tacoma.  When I arrived the sky was beginning to change from the midnight blue of the night before to the beautiful colors of a spring sunrise.  To my amazement as I took this picture, I never saw the sun.  It seems it comes up to the East of where I was standing.  Not to waste the effort, I stood on the hill and smiled to the heavens and sighed...Good Morning.
