Waking Up Much too Early

At 6:00 A.M. I opened the door to check the outside temperature. Across the marsh there was a fog floating over the river with a pink-orange cast in the sky. A foggy voice in my head said, "Get the camera."

The city has installed a new nature park on the east side of Trailway Campground where, until last fall there was a beautiful although overgrown woodlot. In daylight it looks dreary and desolate, but early in the morning with the sun peeking above the horizon it presents some interesting highlights and shadows.

In the fog the Fishing Bridge seems to go on forever, but hidden in the thickening mist is a secret portal to Hogwarts.

This spot is much too convenient, I am drawn here frequently, even when the light isn't so dramatic.
