An Early Morning

A week ago on Saturday,September 1,I got up EARLY in order to capture the sunrise.

I left my house  a few minutes after 6AM and headed out of town,looking for the best spot to capture the sunrise.

There were no clouds in the sky this morning and so the sunrise was not as pretty as I had hoped for.

Here that beautiful sun is just peeking over the horizon.

Once the sun was up,I started back home,but found more beauty along the way.

The grain terminal in the distance almost looks like it is floating in water.

I loved that golden morning light.

While I was stopped to capture the above image,I turned to look to the west and saw the moon in the sky.I don't take a lot of moon pictures,but this was one opportunity I could not pass up.

Just below the moon I saw this tree bathed in the warm light of the morning sun.

I know that this is not a perfect picture,but I really liked the colour of the scene.

Getting closer to town I saw this American Kestrel sitting on the wires. Experience has told me that as soon as I stop it will flay away.I guess this bird was different as it sat long enough for me to get several shots of it.I was hoping he would turn around,but you see,beggars can't be choosers,so I had to settle for this view.

I was happy with the pictures I got that morning,but a few days later I was able to photograph a much prettier sunrise. Pictures to follow in another post to come soon,so stay tuned.

Thought for today:

Creation is filled with signs that point to the Creator.
