i am a morning person. an hour before sunrise til 2 hrs after sunrise is my favorite time to be out taking pictures. i do take pictures at other times, but early morning is my favorite. these are some pictures from the past year of wildlife in the light of the early morning sun. hope you enjoy.

Wendall as you know one of the benefits of being a morning person is that beautiful golden light. Along with the quietness and less people wherever you're at. A fine collection of images with nice variety. Hope to see more of your work.
thanks again for everyone's nice encouragement. you are right, alan, it is a yellowleg. i was looking at the pictures after posting and realized that i had misnamed it. sometimes the 70 year old mind has data recall problems.
