Happy Timing!

   I do not claim to be an expert photographer.  In fact, I claim just the opposite.  I am not a "photographer".  I just like to take pictures of things that interest me. If one of those pictures turns out well, then I am happy.  If not, then that is ok, too.  I tried.

  This morning, like every other morning, I was on the pier bright and early.  To be honest, I started not to venture down as the weather had taken a turn to the cooler side and, being old, I feel the cold.  But, I went.  Bat, the cat, followed.  He has become my new hiking partner and I welcome the company.  The eastern horizon was a myriad of colors and the clouds had formed giant stripes across the sky.  Wow!  That was lovely and made coping with the cold a lot easier.  Bat and I slowly walked down the pier.  He stopped to eye the lovely, little rail as she was hunting bull minnows but I kept easing down the pier with hopes of catching the perfect shot of the sunrise.

Sunrise on the Bayou!

  With the first snap of the camera, my photo session could have stopped.  I had inadvertently captured what I considered my "best shot" of the day.  The sunrise was gorgeous, the water mirrored the horizon and, best of all, a heron had just taken flight from the marsh edge!  Yep!  This made me entirely happy!  Mr. Bat and I had a lovely morning!
