This has been a roller coaster winter ride. After a week of very cold and snowy conditions, mother nature gave us a massive thaw for a few days. Temperatures well above freezing combined with rain and melting snow.
The combination of warm temperature and rain can form beautiful fog lifting from the melting snow on rivers. A true breath of fresh air during a cold winter can really inspire the photographic eye.
While out enjoying the morning lifting fog, I was greeted by a timid coyote, a pack of deer and this handsome hawk in a near by tree.
I think this is a red tailed hawk. Within the foggy trees, the atmosphere really allows the beautiful bird to stand out. After capturing a few shots for myself, it decided to hunt elsewhere and flew off.
This allowed me to continue to enjoy the beautiful foggy morning in a flood plain near the river.
