The last two days have been very hot – yesterday was 38 C and so early morning is a pleasant time when it is still relatively cool. I took this at sunrise today – the grass seeds lit up by the first rays of the day.

Fish on the dam?!

Natural Density Filter!!
Yesterday was a very cold spring morning. The temperature of the dam water would have been considerably higher than the air temperature so it was almost like a steaming bath. The result was the rising sun being filtered through a haze – brings a whole new meaning to ND filter…
Magic moment..
Yesterday there was an amazing sunrise again, but this time there was a bonus! As I watched the light change before the sun came up, a huge flock of Ibis appeared to my left and I realised they would pass right across my field of view. The flocks are beautifully graceful at any given time, but in front of this sunrise – a magic moment!

My favourite ridge, my favourite time of day….
Reflections on a sunrise…
I seem to be doing a lot of sunrises, apologies….so here is another one!! I hadn’t anticipated the temperature to fall as low last night (-2 C), so had a shock when everything was frozen this morning and with no wind. The dam at work is rarely this still. Handheld 😦
A sunrise and ‘Skippy’!
It’s been a week of freezing cold overnight temperatures and the most amazing sunrises. This sunrise was taken on Thursday with a 70-300 mm lens, I believe the temperature was about -4 C. The distant ridge is one I see almost everyday and am fascinated by its varying silhouettes in different lights – Thursday was perfect if not a little surreal! I went back today (you can view my other images on my recently created Facebook page – Lisa Kimmorley Photography) and found another individual waiting for the warmth of the sunrise!
