Sunrise before Time Change

The day before the ‘fall back’ from daylight saving to standard time, I was in Carrollton TX and awake long before the sunrise…and I happened to notice it at a good time for photography.

I took a quick picture with my phone. The silhouettes of the of the trees in my parents’ backyard are in the foreground…the powerlines run through the color of the sun…a single star (or is it a planet?) is visible just above the trees which I didn’t notice until I looked at the image on a large monitor.

I went inside to get my bridge camera. It produced a crisper image and the deeper colors …although I wish I would have framed it to get the star just above the trees!

I celebrated capturing the sunrise…even while I thought about how I prefer that we didn’t change our clocks twice a year.
