Some days are better than others..

I drove an hour hoping that sunrise would be special.

I got to the lake and worked my way along the shore, finding a spot I liked before any light reached the clouds.

 

I couldn't stop smiling as I composed my images and watched the beautiful colors and clouds changing as the sun came up. 

 

 

 

Once the colors faded I hung around long enough to create some images of fog rising off the lake with beautiful clouds and sky above.

 

 

 

I ended with this tamarack tree (Larix laricina) silhouetted on the lake shore.  Another great morning in the outdoors.
