First sunrise of fall

This is almost week passed due:

This first set of pictures were taken last year (2015) a beautiful morning.

The view is from Cactus Bluff, the Wisconsin River valley was shrouded in a mist.

 This was my 2014 entry. Pretty much the same as in 2015.

  

 "The fog hung heavy over the river valley as the sun announced the first day of fall. Here and there the fog give way allowing the trees to cast a reflection on the still water. The call of the geese and sandhills waking up added another whole level to the experience. The dew was dripping from the trees, chipmunks rustling in the fallen leaves. There was a fall chill in the air."

                            
                                   Just the three of us Mother Nature, the Wisconsin River and me.  
                                              

         

    This is what it looked like to the north from my river bank at about 4 am. this year (2016). Cactus Bluff is down river to the left. I don't mind a lighting storm but it didn't make for great sunrise photo opportunity.

    It was beautiful in it's own way.
