Portrait of LD at dawn - Foscue Creek Park, Nov 22, 2008

What a beautiful morning

It's cold here this morning but it's dawned a bright sunny day. I've been up since 3:00AM and now that dawn is here I'm off for a walk in the park to see if I can get a few pictures before the mist rises off the river.

[Update] Not much luck with the pictures. I still haven't settled my traveling mud enough to concentrate on the finer points of this photography business. I have a couple photos that might show up here in the next few days but nothing exciting enough to resist being bumped by better stuff to come.
