Subdued, Pastel Sunrise

It's been a bad year for me catching good sunrises over at the canal this year. I don't think I've missed many good ones either, at least not when I'm in the area.

Fall is the best time, though, so there's still hope. Here are some from this morning.

I first visited Papscanee Island Nature Preserve along the Hudson River back in early June. This morning, foliage along the trails had grown up significantly and the tide was higher leaving much less beach areas.

And the mosquitos were out in full force. I did manage to get some decent shots despite having to keep moving to avoid their bites.

I added these seven images to the gallery at https://www.trulandphotography.com/Color/New-York-State-Parks/Papscanee-Island-Nature-Preserve.

Falling Into Place

I switched lenses five or six times this morning at a sunrise which benefitted from both focal length ranges and it worked out well. A couple of bag organizing adjustments will help even more.
