A crystal-clear mountain lake reflects the breathtaking hues of sunrise, mirroring the soft pastels of the sky. The distant Blue Ridge Mountains, shrouded in morning mist, rise gently in the background, while towering evergreens frame the serene waters. In the foreground, a fallen log, partially submerged, is surrounded by delicate clusters of pink and purple wildflowers. The surface of the lake is broken only by the gentle ripple of a great blue heron gliding effortlessly above, its wings outstretched as it takes flight into the glowing morning sky.
