THE TALL OAKS AND THE COTTONWOOD TREES OF THE PARK BEAUTIFUL I wasn't going to pass

I wasn't going to pass this shot up and quickly set up the tripod with camera attached and fired off one shot before the heron took flight

I was looking for some good composition which included the movement of the water over rocks and the reflections of the box elder trees that line the banks of Eakin Creek West

I switched out my lens back to the 18-70mm from the 300mm

I composed the Kentucky coffee tree being backlit along with the trail and snapped off a couple images

THE TALL OAKS AND THE COTTONWOOD TREES OF THE PARK BEAUTIFUL I wasn't going to passThe forecast this morning was for foggy conditions until late morning so, photographing any kind of sunrise was out of the question. I left the house before 5: am and after photographing the wildflowers for a couple hours, the fog was still about and peaked my interest to find subjects that would help compliment the atmosphere that the fog brought to the landscape. With this type of atmosphere, I like photographing the landscape in black and white.
