One of the first few pictures I took this new year. While waiting for the golden rays to illuminate any nearby critters, I stopped and soaked in the gorgeous scene unfolding to my east. As the sun crested the hill, it lit of the grasses and mullein plants making for a pretty scene right at the first dawn of 2017.
