As the Sun Rises

The sun’s appearance turned the sky an almost red glow as it rose from behind the clouds and horizon. The landscape of pine trees and cypress with the tall grasses seemed to look like it did hundreds of years ago in the Everglades National Park in Homestead, FL. It was a cool morning in the 50’s, the wind was barely moving with clouds being seen only on the horizon .

The Darkness with a Star

Long Pine Key was dark, the mist lightly covered the lake. I know that is not a star, but that beautiful spot of light is Venus  -it shined like a jewel in the sky

Long Pine Key – Everglades National Park

I drove down to the Everglades this morning to catch a sunrise and to visit a Meetup group. This photo was taken 30 minutes before dawn. No clouds in the sky. The air was cool and very still. There was a shroud of mist across the lake.

I was traveling to Port Charlotte in May along I75 and had to stop to check if I had packed something. The location was a simple parking lot, but the water was reflecting the clouds like a mirror. I grabbed my camera and started taking a few photos.
