The plan was to get up and be in Heron Pond before sunrise. Turns out that it really didn’t matter. Clouds and more clouds were over the river. Sunrise came and went with shutter speeds under 1/100.
Saw two things that I have not seen in quite some time.
Shorebirds and Rain
Dark skies to the West and a few breaks in the clouds produced that dramatic light that makes you understand why landscape photographers risk lightning to take a photo or two before it rains.
Years of duck hunting makes getting wet no big deal but by 7:45, it was time to go. Got to admit it was really nice to walk out in a rain shower.

Here are three for today. Tomorrow is my birthday (party today) and all the outlaws and in laws are showing up, so this is all for today.
