SPRING'S FIRST SUNRISE

  Spring has definitely sprung in East Tennessee. Highs of 80°F today with nary a cloud in the sky.  For the first time I was able to set a shoot a sunrise and my hands not freeze. 
  There was one lone cloud in the sky for the sunrise this morning. It was hovering over the trees across Tellico Lake. Didn't go anywhere for a while because there was very little wind at all.
  Normally, a cloudless sky doesn't do well for my sunrise taste but the way the one single cloud held reflecting on the still water combined with the sun peeking through trees just caught my eye. Very simple but very elegant just the same.  Sometimes the simple things mean a lot.
