Sunrise

Morning Walk: ISO 450, 600mm, f/6.3, 1/200

I left home early this morning to see if I could get a Heron down by the Trent River.  I had no luck. 

But, as I was walking up the stairs to the Dam at Lock 1.  This American Robing Fledgling was enjoying the sunrise and waiting for Mom to bring her some food.

Later on, I did manage to get a shot of a Black-crowned Night Heron, but it was pretty far off, and the photo is not worth sharing.  You can see it here.

Vermillion Lakes Sunrise, Banff National Park: ISO 400, 7mm, f/3.5, 1/1600

Took this image one morning last summer before all the tourists were awake. It was very peaceful. A summer storm was forecasted for later that morning. I was capturing the dramatic sky and the beginning of this storm.

Shovel at Sunrise: ISO 400, 50mm, f/6.3, 1/30

Took this a couple of mornings ago. Sun was over the horizon and breaking through our neighbour's trees.

This is a Virginia Creeper surrounding a shovel. We have been using the shovel to dig up fresh potatoes.
