First Light
Mr. Thompson was commenting recently on my lack of photographic productivity. Okay, DouggeyBoy, we got three keepers this morning. Not much, but better'n zippo.
The pasture, I'll confess, is a disappointment this year. Usually, it would have been cut in mid to late June. The wildflowers, released from the shade and competition of the tall grasses, would be coming up all over. And hanging from them, without the clutter of stems and blades, spider webs would be everywhere. It hasn't been cut--probably won't be. Too wet, and our neighbor who usually cuts it works a 36-hour day--much of it, helping his neighbors and refusing to let them pay him.
This first crop of pasture grass is maturing, even browning, giving the field a fall-like aspect.
As you might have noticed, many of my photos are taken in those rare moments when the sun first peeks over the ridge. The larger version of this pasture image is in the gallery, here.
Also from this morning's walk-about, two new spider web images, here and here.
Comments
Good grief, you're good! I thank Mr. Thompson who sent you forth with heavy guilt to traverse the meadows for the golden fleece.
In other words, we KNOW it's been a summer of very cold mornings, but being an artist is a tough job that requires some suffering.

But I was up earlier and shot the fog in the hills. :)
