Fall by the house

It was that time of the year when clocks roll back an hour and revert to standard time, I was dropping Tamara to school one early Friday morning and was treated to a spectacular sunrise by the Cherry Creek Reservoir. Usually, such spectacles are repeated for a couple of days (something to do with weather patterns and high pressure ridges around here) and so I woke up early the next day with my gear to photograph the sunrise by the water. As you can see in the picture below (and true to the rule above) I was treated to beautifully lit clouds catching the first light.  I got lucky, once the sun was up I found a clump of cottonwood trees right by the lake shore sporting rich fall colors. The morning sun created some magical lighting for the trees to really show off their colors. I loafed around the area for a couple of hours, lost my car keys (and then found them!) and then proceeded to lose my gloves (found them again!!) before wrapping it up for the day. Maybe I should have bought a lottery ticket that day. At any rate, I  feel really blessed to be living so close to such beauty.
