"The more we come in contact with animals, and observe their behaviour, the more we love them, for we see how great is their care for their young." - philosopher Immanuel Kant
Sandi, I have tried and tried to get a good fog shot and have not been able to. You did with this shot! I also like the way the sun is coming throught the trees.
Sandi my dear .. this has to be one of your better posts!....Should do very nice in the VB!....Wonderful and warming...the mist adds a little 'suspense' to it!
*You will have noticed that I haven't been commenting as much on your fine images!..This is because of the pains in my hands!..the constant use of the keyboard, makes this difficult..so, my dear friends..I can only apologise to you all in advance!*

Sandi, one will have to get up pretty early in the morning to top this. What's that old saying: "The Early Bird generally has sleep in it's eyes." Something like that. I see scenes like this during the deer season, but I'm generally watching for that Thirty Pointer. This looks so wonderful with the light seeming to be originating from tree, almost like spot light. This shot lets you imagine what's out there. Very nice post.
All of earth is crammed with heaven And every bush aflame with God But only those who see take off their shoes. - Elizabeth Barrett Browning<p>

It's amazing how sometimes in this world we can see things that we didn't think possible. This looks like one of those moments, Sandi. I'm glad you were there to capture it!
"I never looked for it, gave it no name; yet I knew it always, when the gift of peace came. I stood quite still for the moment that it lasted...Then the light shifted slightly and the moment passed, leaving me...with the lasting echo of its presence.." Diana Gabaldon
You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

how nice, dear Sandi, the mist is a special touch, and gives at first glance the feeling that´s something on that place below, and not the ground and the mist, as we, in full view may see_very interesting "optical illusion" _ the trees and the early sun are a must!! :))
Several of my photos are available for purchase in larger format at Shutterpoint, and some are also available in high quality framed prints at http://djholmes.imagekind.com/
It sure was time again to catch up a bit and take a closer look at your gallery to see what you where up to lately !
And this one sprung to mind straight away. It has become a incredible beautifull capture Sandi .... it would well suite the front page of a calander..
Wonderfull shot.
As you know that i rarely view c-index ratings, i just did to see how it went down at caedes, the scoring of 75 is on the low side.
This one caught my eye even as a small thumbnail. I spotted that tiny dot of light with what looked like crepuscular ray emanating from it, and opened it with real anticipation. I wasn't disappointed. I hope you don't mind if I pull a copy and crop it top and bottom to make a pano of it for my wallpaper folder? The line of trees and dawn light, not to mention that gorgeous center, begs for the emphasis that only a pano treatment can give.
