I arrived at the marsh before dawn, hoping to photograph a beautiful sunrise. I stumbled around in the fog and the dark as it gradually got lighter and captured this shot of a flock of blackbirds flying over a field of cattails. If you click on the photo, you can get a better look at all of the different flying positions of the blackbirds.
As it turned out, there were virtually no colors in the sky as the sun rose. I’m sure that I will be back again soon for another attempt.

I like that shot. It almost looks like it was taken at night. I’m glad I’m not the only one who sits in the fog waiting for the sun!
Reblogged this on like an apple and commented:
I just love this photo. It is like “Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird” come to life. Well, one of the ways, at least. 🙂
This is so beautiful – I love it!
Thanks. it’s a little creepy in the gray of the early morning, but beautiful nonetheless.
