I’m sharing a sunrise photo that I took a few days ago while wandering around Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge in Oklahoma. It was a gorgeous morning and sky.

The air was cool but not chilly, and it smelled fresh and clean.

I drove up the road until the sun was behind two trees. It glowed orange, and I liked what I saw on the back of my phone.

It really wasn’t a busy morning at the refuge. I saw no deer, but four different raccoons and one bobcat did make an appearance. I wasn’t able to get photos of any of them because they were simply too far away and disappeared into the overgrown grasses along the side of the road before I could even get out of my vehicle.

I photographed a cute Eastern Gray Squirrel and hope to do a post about that another day.

Birds? Too far away, too few, and the wind started blowing while I was there, which didn’t help, I’m sure.

Even with very few mammals present, birds that I couldn’t photograph, I still had a nice morning at the refuge.

I was out in nature, and I needed it, probably more than I even knew.

Beautiful scenery, sunshine, fresh air, and the sounds of nature all around me. Yes, I needed it.

Life is good.
