Ruth started photographing the radiant horizon, 5:39 a.m. A gradual golden glow glistens on Lake Quinault 5:41 a.m. 5:41 a.m., bright & early, from a patio deck vantage point. First glimpse of sun rising above mountain range 5:44 a.m.
Luminous skyline follows the previous evening rain shower. Soft colors of dawn, mirrored subtly across Lake Quinault. Shining sunrays reflect off the lake as surface fog lifts. Sunlight beams begin suffusing the valley's cloud blanket.
Brilliant orb, up over Olympic Mountain Range at 5:44 a.m. Daybreak focus on the far side of Lake Quinault, 5:45 a.m. Sun highlights, dissipates ground clouds, 5:49 a.m. Winged reveille of the sun-up symphony jumpstarts the day, 5:53 a.m.
