Default fog in the valley at sunrise

I had to be at work at 6am and I took these on the way to work. I wish they were a bit more clear but not much light and fog do not help matters.

Again the focus is not spot on....just a shade off but the pollen all over its face was cool....Hard to get the focus just so when they are moving all over the place!

Thank goodness you go to work Patrick, you find some of the most wonderful things to take photos of. The colour in the early morning shots is magical (almost makes me want to get up early).

Beautiful sunrise. The fog is such a nice color in contrast with the vivid sky. Love the bee face!

Actually, Patrick, the fog adds a wonderful depth to your sunrise. You know, I've heard about sunrises and it's nice to see one! LAJ, aka Night Owl.

These are great Patrick. I love the morning fog. So cool and mysterious. I like the morning glow, really pretty. Is that the same fence from the ice storm shot? Looks familiar to me. But I guess most fences might look the same.
The pollinator is awesome, that's quite the dusting on his face. Makes me want to wipe my own face off.

Nice series my friend.

Beautiful photos, I love the fog and the colors are fabulous. I'm with Lindy, a night owl all the way, its a rare morning I see the sun rise. Your bee shot is great, that looks like one busy little bee. Great shots.

Oh i love sunrises.. when i can get around to being awake for one ..

awesome colors in the sunrise shots.. the reddish-orange, the blue and the fog just accentuates it all...

as for the macro.. sigh... i just see pics like these and hope one day i'll be able to capture something like that.. ( just need to get over my fear of insects/bees and get a proper dSLR ).. one day... sigh...
