Until this Northern cardinal perched right there, I hadn't noticed the gold and orange leaves in the background. He made the scene come alive.

Quiet mornings at the local ponds just as the sun is about ot rise is one of my favorite times for photography.

#photography #landscapephotography #Scape #SensoryArt #Water #sunrise
Looking across a pond at the trees on the far shore. The trees have all lost their leaves. The trunks and branches are silhouetted against the clear sky which is shades of oranges and purples and blues from the rising sun. There's a small flock of ducks swimming across the pond near the far shore.
