Smoke on the Water

It’s 9:30 am on a Sunday and I’ve already put in a full day. With the beautiful weather this weekend, we decided an early morning float was in order. It is truly spectacular to watch the sunrise on the river with a coffee and baileys in hand. The 4:00 am start however isn’t that easiest pill to swallow, the trick is not to look at your makeup less face in the mirror, throw on a hat and go.

Early morning fog over the water  has a romantic yet mysterious quality. Pre-dawn the birds are chirping and deer silently gaze as you’re drifting by,  just as the sun starts peaking over the river valley. Even if the fish count is zero, it’s the peace you encounter that really counts. I thought I would share a few photos for those of you who enjoyed a sleep-in.
