I happened to glance towards the east as I carried the last milker to the milk house, just in time to see the sun at the exact moment that it was peeking over the horizon. The colors weren't especially beautiful...no brilliant reds or oranges...but the sun light that streamed across the fields was breath taking.
As usually happens, by the time you grab your camera, the magic is gone. And...the camera never quite captures the images quite as beautiful as they are in real life, but I tried anyway...
This picture looking to the west, of the Amish neighbors' barn peeking over the hill, is probably one of the most photographed shots that I've taken over the years, in all seasons. You should see it at sunset!
I think the hydrangeas are especially beautiful this time of year, and the sun only made them prettier this morning...
The golf course across the road always gives us a show of beautiful leaves as well...
The leaves are late here this year...and we're enjoying them as long as we can. It makes the fall more enjoyable, and at least makes me imagine that winter is still a long way off!

what beautiful country!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures, Alica! You live in such a beautiful area.
ReplyDeleteIt has been quite awhile since I saw the sun rise AFTER doing the milking! (grin)
Oh it is still very very beautiful Alica. Hug B
ReplyDeletei loved it. thanks for sharing the peaceful beauty of early day!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures, and our color is almost gone here now, after the rain and wind. So many trees are bare already.
ReplyDeleteI understand -- sometimes the camera just can't capture the beauty we are experiencing... you but did good Alica! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the cows and awesome autumn shots ~ beautiful! ~ carol, xxx
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful, and I am so glad you caught it, I love that shot too of the Amish Farm over the hill. The trees are so pretty, I like the cloudy sky too.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colours. The first one could be a painting. :)
ReplyDeleteSO gorgeous, and yes, a lot of the time our cameras do not catch the light in all its glory that our eyes behold... that is a huge Hydrangea bush, I'd be asking if I could cut a bunch of blooms to decorate with! Thank you for coming by to share on Rurality Blog Hop #39!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Nancy, you done good girl! I always love that early morning light too. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the light when it is like that. And it happens so rarely that to be outside and to see it always is a gift!!

Wow! Beautiful pictures.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about grabbing the camera, before the picture gets away from you. I remember my dad told me that you have 1 golden minute with sunrises and sunsets ... just one minute to capture that light.
I have found that to be absolutely true.
Thanks for sharing your beautiful pictures with us.
Have a great night, my friend.

Love those magic sunrises.
ReplyDeleteGreat fall images.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos and with such great light!
ReplyDeleteGreat captures of the morning light.
ReplyDeleteThat golden light is perfect for making even the most beautiful scenes more beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWow, what beautiful photographs Alica. Just breathtakingly beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
JB
Stunning !
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful sights. My shots rarely depict what I actually see in person. I think there is a reason for that.
ReplyDeleteLovely! I could lay out there on that field for hours, just taking it all in. So sweet that ya got to see it and capture it.
