This morning I couldn’t sleep. Instead of tossing and turning in bed waiting for morning to come, I got up and went for a run through campus and out toward the covered bridge.
It’s difficult to see but there were two deer grazing in the grass by the tree line. I could see the steam rising off their backs and vapor coming from each exhaled breath.
The Irish Bend Covered Bridge where I recently had a motorcycle photo shoot.
The sun prepares to make its debut over Corvallis for the day.
Clouds on the horizon made us wait a few minutes longer for first light this morning.
Sunrise over Corvallis. What were you doing when the sun came up today?
Golden dappled light washes across the fields and hills.
The burning nuclear inferno of hydrogen rises into the trees.
The sun rises far enough north in the sky this time of year to provide light to the interior of the covered bridge.
Warmth and light return once more to the valley.
