Scot Baston issued a New Years Sunrise challenge on flickr and Twitter. Yesterday, we had beautiful light. Today, we had rain followed by clouds. I was also limited in where I could go since I had to be back before 8 am.

Andy & I went down the road and found this rentention pond. At first glance, I didn’t even notice all the cranes out there. But once I zoomed in I could see at least a dozen birds.

I didn’t get great shots but it was good to get out so early. I have also found a spot that I will go back on a clear day.

    I love it when I get my act together and go out with my camera early in the morning. Good for you to get the extra bonus of cranes.

    Color me jealous! What a wonderful place–and all those birds–droooool! Now you know, with my warped brain, I was fully expecting, reading the titlejust (with the question mark, indicating in my mind a pun) a photo of one of your boys just rolling out of bed. I like this one better. Sure would like to shoot down there with you!
