"Backroads Surprise"

Photo courtesy of Juanita L. Ruffner.                    (Click on the photo for a larger view) Photographer Juanita L. Ruffner obviously has a good eye for beautiful and intriguing scenes, and today's picture of the sun rising over an early morning fog is certainly one of them. Here is the story behind the image: "I go out a lot and photograph while I'm "on the road". There are a lot of backroads that I enjoy, each of which offers a unique view. The kind of day it is will lead you to nice surprises. Mornings are my favorite time. On this morning it was foggy and the sun was hitting the top of the trees and hills. I adore it when I drive upon a spot like this...Sunrays glowing through and atop the trees!"      --Juanita Ruffner   Visitor Comments...
