I was unsure if she would get up for a morning sunrise but surprisingly she was ecstatic to spend time with dad. She was also able to take a few pictures herself.

Droplets
I plan on each day this week posting a picture during my time spent out in the fog a few days ago. Â Here is a picture of a tree branch with a few water droplets from the rain. Â There is nothing elaborate about the composition but I really liked how the branch and droplets stood out from the fog in the background.
I also added a 100% crop so that you can see how much detail is in a 100 megapixel image.

Tranquility
I was only able to get up one morning on our trip to take sunrise pictures. Â Unfortunate rain and arctic blast that sent cold temperatures all the way to Southern Florida didn’t help the situation, especially when I didn’t pack for 30 degree weather.

Clearing through the fog – The Bean (Cloud Gate)
I don’t know why I’m so drawn towards this enormous sculpture. Â Each time I go there I try to take a shot that is better than the last. Â Unfortunately, this visit did not cooperate like I hoped. Â I still think most would approve?

Majestic Reflections – Taggart Lake – part 2
When we reached Taggart Lake for the beautiful sunrise there was not a cloud in the sky. Â We were there for about 30 minutes and I noticed all the clouds moving in. Â We waited just long enough to capture this.

Majestic Reflections – Taggart Lake – Happy 4th of July
On our 2nd to last day in Grand Teton National Park my nephew and woke up early to hike to Taggart Lake (2 mile hike). Â It was a beautiful morning and we got there at sunrise. Â I quickly set up my camera and decided a panoramic would work best. Â I’m sure others will say that I had much better shots taken at other locations but this location for some reason really sticks with me. Â Maybe it’s the fact that I knew nobody else but me and my nephew were around and we could enjoy the peaceful and majestic sunrise together. Â Last, in a few days I will post one more picture from this location. Â That picture, maybe my favorite overall is a great example of why you need to be patient!
