Of course they would. :-)  Easy shots are bad??? :-) I had just awoke and 
was laying there looking out wondering if I should actually get up and take 
some pictures or go back to sleep.  Of course there's very little time to 
choose my vantage point or alter the composition, aside from deciding how 
much zoom and how much sky vs.horizon before the light changes.

Probably, and I'd have been shooting Velvia. ;-)  I just didn't have the 6x7 
ready to go and I was barely awake besides.  Had I actually been awake I 
probably would have walked down the hill and put some large silohouetted 
pines somewhere in the scene.  I do have several variations as it is. but 
overall similar. (What would have been cool is to have been at Mores Creek 
Overlook at the right time in the morning).

I'll harp on this again. :-) Sure the shot was easy.  But factor in that I 
had to find the house, make payments on the house, buy the kind of vehicles 
that will dependably get my family to/from the house in all seasons, chain 
up betwen 10 - 20 times a year, travel the 30 miles to work, 30 miles back 
almost every day,  avoid the deer jumping out into the road at night, and on 
TOP OF ALL OF THAT, wake up and get the camera... see it wasn't that easy. 
LOL!

Thanks for commenting on my lazy a**. :-)
