Early Bird Special

I was out early to try and work with the available morning light. The sun is getting stronger and warmer with each passing week and should provide some beautiful sunrises in the near future. These Common Reeds provided a nice contrast against a clear blue sky.


This Red Fox was out prowling looking for a morning meal, my wife thinks he has a taste for Cats and doesn't like him coming around her pet! The railroad tracks and natural frame of the woods make this an interesting picture.
I have a few looks at this old Sugar House among my pictures its always a good subject. I liked the way it looked this morning in the early light and decided to include a few trees in the foreground for composition and scale.
Canada Geese flying north against the morning sky, this is a sight you never can get enough of, the sounds that go with it only serve to enhance the experience. Many Birds remain in our area feeding and resting before resuming their journey to their nesting grounds .
This bunch was almost out of sight over this little rise, like me they seem to be enjoying the morning sun.
As the weather warms up and the ice melts the natural world is ready to come alive. Stay tuned for coming attractions, I am looking forward to recording some of the action for future Post.

Gotta loved that early morning light.

The fox on the tracks is the best!

I'm partial to the reeds and sky. Looks like a beautiful day.
