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.
