NOT MUCH OF A SUNRISE

This morning was pretty dull. There was not much of sunrise at all. The color was small and brief on the horizon. So brief I almost missed it prepping the drone for flight. I was happy to be out anyway with the possibility of another foot of snow coming tomorrow.

I barely drained the a battery getting this shot so captured a bit more of the town I grew up in the first 4 years of my life; a town I spend many sunrises in annually. These bluff lands are a beautiful area. It’s hard to imagine living anywhere else…ur…um, except this time of year. I could picture myself living all kinds of places. This winter needs to end.

SO COLD IT HURTS SUNRISE

When I arrived at Bay City Campground this a.m. if was -23F. It’s that type of weather that is so cold it hurts. The parking lots was plowed nicely. The snow on the beach was quite deep and over the height of my boots.

I tried to leave the camera outside on the tripod, but the batteries went dead in minutes in the extreme cold. I sat in the car with the heated seat on high and dashed out periodically to take some shots. It took more time to scarf and glove-up than it did to quickly dash out, snap a few frames and head back to the car before the sting of the cold became unbearable.

The clouds and steam turned out in abundance this a.m. It was another beautiful Bay City sunrise scene.

HAZY FEBRUARY SUNRISE

The huge temperature swing was refreshing this morning. No crazy sub-zero temps or windchill’s to contend with. Instead, we were in for a hazy February sunrise.

The crescent moon just above the horizon upon arrival was an unanticipated bonus.
