Finding the Light

Sometimes a photographer chases the light, and sometimes the light chases the photographer.   The above is more of the later.

My photography friend Jeff and I ventured to one of my favorite summer time locations - Kendall Hills.  We were expecting to photograph some insects and see what the area had to offer.

Well as we got to the lake, shortly after sunrise, the lake was full of families of canada geese.   The young ones are the same size as the adults and it is hard to tell the young geese from the parents.  

As we were enjoying the geese swimming and feeding, the light began to turn the misty fog off the lake into a golden hue that was really spectacular.

As the families swam around, at times it was tough to see exactly what was happening because the intense light from the sunrise hitting fog just made the lake GLOW a golden color.

Luckily the camera is able to capture what I had felt of the tranquil scene.   One of the more magical mornings in the park this year.
