morning

Munith, Michigan

Munith, Michigan

Driving back from Stockbridge, Michigan, on a super foggy morning, I drove through the little village of Munith.

The truth is, throughout my life here, I haven’t ever seen Munith. It’s tiny—a village on the northeast edge of Jackson County.

But here I was on the first day of autumn, on the way back from Stockbridge, when an abandoned storage area caught my eye coming out of the mist.

It was the perfect pop-out-of-the-car-and-grab-some-pictures spot.

Shot on the Canon 5D (classic!) and EF 40mm f/2.8.

Time for Photos

I haven’t done this in a while: tromp around outside on a snowy morning (in April!) and take some sunrise photos.

It’s one of the benefits of the new job. I now have some time to stop and make pictures, and this week I realized how much I missed that.

As soon as I saw the sun rising in the backyard, and the light catching the snow crystals, I knew I had to grab the macro lens and get out there.

Maybe it’s a good practice to schedule these types of things. Or maybe it’s good enough to have some time in your schedule to let serendipity happen. Maybe, as Forest Gump says, it’s a bit of both.

8/1/13 – Driveway Grass

8/1/13 - Driveway Grass

Today’s photo was a quick one – I hadn’t pulled out of the driveway for my morning commute when I saw the sun reflecting (as it so often does) on my front lawn grass.

There are lots of pretty views on my way into work each morning. Usually the sun is rising over some mist-covered field, or the sky is painted with dawn colors. It’s one of my favorite parts of the day, my morning drive.

It’s getting to that time of year where the sun wakes up a little later each day, so by September the mornings will be perfect. Just perfect.
