The one pine looks like a giant wishbone Elizabeth. If you wished for a great shot, with perfect coloring and composition--your wish came true. Excellent post.
I feel loneliness in the morning air as those solitary trees seek but do not receive companionship from the earth or the sky. Even clouds avoid contact and move away in haste. The heavens are empty and cannot afford even one teardrop to dampen a leaf. Such encouragement will not be coming for this sparsely filled forest of giants.
Superb pic : there is a balance between cold and war colors, like this short moment between the end of the day and night where everything is going dark. You captured it well! Thanks for sharing it.
On the move again, Elizabeth. This is such a fine sunrise shot. The trees are great and the sun through them is a fine way to frame the main subject. It's interesting how just a few of them stand so tall.
