Default Sun Rays
Rising sun over the mountain, close to my favorite birding area. The mountain top appears to be on fire with all the sun hitting it.

Sunrise

A shot of one of the several hundred Cattle Egrets in trees along the lake shore. This particular one was having a bad hair day.

Thank Vin, I was out trying to get into location prior to sunrise and just glanced behind me to see how much time I had and saw this display of light. Just lucky I saw it at all.

Hi Fred! That Sun shot is just fantastic. Love the way the rays cut thru the clouds.
Very well done on the Egrett, I found a new area to try for Herons, Egrets and other shore birds, perhaps I'll take the rocket launcher out there next week and shoot some.
Thanks for Sharing these
Michael.
