During the month of December, our thoughts turn toward Christmas. Many of us venture into the forest in search of an evergreen conifer associated with the celebration of Christmas.

A few years back, I was making a morning drive on a local mountain road when I came around a curve and was blessed with a view of a wonderful tree. The fresh snow was clinging to branches and the morning sun provided back lighting to accent the tree in a golden glow. I got out the camera to capture the special moment. I knew as the sun rose in the sky the image would become less dramatic and the magic moment would shortly be gone.

The picture of this magnificent moment has always been one of my favorite photographs and it is a pleasure to share it with the readers of Serve Daily.
