Morning Glory

The latest in my "shot with a cell phone" photo series. I hate the phrase, "the best camera is the one you have with you" but, in this case, it turned out to be true. I think the overcast day's even lighting probably helped a lot as well. Also, the editing features of the iPhone apps, TiltShiftGenerator and Photogene are amazing.
