I had committed to sleeping in this morning. The move has been exhausting, and now that our furniture arrived I relished the idea of spending a bit more time in a real bed. That hope was dashed when Cindy stirred me out of my sleep, excitedly describing the sunrise that I just had to see. I admit I was skeptical and a bit grumpy as I followed her to the front door.

I have often said my wife has a better eye than me. When I got to the door and saw Mount Mexico (not sure if that is its real name) backlit by a flaming orange, red and yellow sky that belief was once again confirmed. I quickly grabbed my gear and ran into the field to capture the moment. Given more time I might have picked a more interesting foreground, but I cannot complain too much about this shot. I hope you enjoy.
