Another one of those mornings I did not feel like getting out of bed. Sometime during the night thunder and lightning woke me from sleep. At first I could hear the rumblings in the distance but quickly realized they were moving towards us. I snuggled in to my pillow and wondered if this meant I could have a morning of fog in the low lying areas and waterways. A grin appeared on my face as the rain started to tap against my bedroom window. Yep, I was going to rise early and see what nature would present.

The grin on my face was quickly removed when I peeked out the window and found very little fog. Oh well, I’m up so let’s go. Maybe I would find fog along the reservoir. I drove up to Hoover Reservoir and parked along the western shoreline near the docks. I had never been down here before but I had driven by and thought it may provide a nice place for a morning sunrise. I spent about 45 minutes shooting, exploring, taking it all in. No sun to be seen as it was hidden in clouds and nothing really grabbed me. Just as I neared the parking lot I noticed the sun breaking through the low lying clouds. I pulled the tripod off my shoulders and took my turn at pressing the shutter a few more times. While I downloaded the images I was again aware how these images only show up on my hard drive when I rise early.
