Morning After

I was up at dawn for today's pictures. It was an accidental all-nighter as I got absorbed in one project after another and didn't notice the clock until it was well after four and then at that point it seemed worthwhile to stay up and catch the dissipating fog as the sun rose. Here you really only get a beautiful fog the morning after a stormy night when it's very warm, but it's the most beautiful weather. I really love driving through the fog and seeing everything off the road from a different perspective--it makes fields and lakes look absolutely magical. Of course, I pictured one thing in my head and found another situation at the park. I took pictures in a mist-filled field but didn't like end result and walked over to this lake for a second try. As evidenced by all the lakeside pictures in this post, I liked that set a lot more. Sometimes you have to recognize when things aren't working out....
