Stepping back and looking through

I stepped back from my wide angle view of the landscape in this morning's dawn and noticed at the same time the vapor trail in the azure sky just above the silhouetted branches of the curly willow tree.  Below, there was the golden horizon, creating a gravitational pull on my eyes. I knew instantly that this was a momentary composition that I wanted to capture.
My heart leapt as I rushed to shoot the picture before the plane flew out of the frame, moving so to catch the branches just touching the streak of light.
Light and line and texture and color in God's palette to create a beautiful moment that could only be seen by one person at one moment.
I believe in holy moments.
I believe in a loving Creator.
