2. I love all the different contrasting subjects from the fluffy clouds to the stark shadow trees to the sunburst.

6. Thank You Biophilic! Shadow got me up at 4 a.m. for breakfast. Twenty minutes later the sun rose. Then I got breakfast.

Do you use a special filter to get the sun to look like that, George? Or does it just come out that way?

10. No special filter. I set the camera's aperture to f/22 and shoot at wide angle to achieve a "starburst" effect. Thanks!!
