Alright, let's get one thing straight about me: 

Very, and I mean VERY few things will get me up and out of bed before sunrise. 
With that being said, Black Balsam Knob at sunrise is one of the very few. 
It is a sight to behold, a painting changing before your very eyes, and anytime we find ourselves near Asheville we find the time to guzzle down some coffee and fit in our favorite hike. This day in particular, we found ourselves there with 15-20 other photographers from Photo Rehab with the same zest for crisp mornings and the perfect photo, along with the lovey doveiest couple ever, Hannah and Rhetta. These two. 
Just being in their presence is warming, and witinessing their affection and the way they look at each other, especially in such an already beautiful place, made it even more magical.
And, as I said earlier, very few things are magical to me in the a.m. 

Nothing compares to watching the fog roll in over the Blue Ridge Parkway and the sun peak it's head over the tops of the mountain ranges, running through the fields, sitting on the edge of the world and soaking it all in.
