As we were driving in Wyoming this past Friday, We stopped to photograph a beautiful sunrise (Second photo). Its a bit over saturated, but it was so beautiful. Let me start over ...

We woke up early so we could get into Utah at a good time. We departed from this cool AirB&B in Cheyenne early in the morning. It was foggy and the tempearture was in the low 40s. Yes, it was cold. As we made our way across I-80, I noticed the pending sunrise on the horizon. We needed to stop for a bio break so pulled off at one of the few rest stops along 80. It was must meant to be: the sunrise as about to show up in a spectualar way. As we started to snap photos, I noticed this female Brewer's Blackbird in a tree near me. She flew away, so we continued to photography the sunrise. Minutes later, she returned, so I changed lens and photographed her as she appeared to be watching the sunrise with us.
