“What Were You Doing in the Dark?”

During the very early morning hours of today Kristy mentioned we had fog. With those words I headed to the cabin so I could experience the phenomenon from the seat of my canoe.

Once on the water I quickly realized there was less fog than I anticipated, but I remained on the water for a pleasant paddling experience anyway.

I shot a number of pictures while paddling. Some will be shared below. If time allows I may put together a video of the outing.

By the way, after pulling my canoe off the water my neighbor asked “ What were you doing in the dark?” He saw that I got an early start!

Note: Most pictures shot at a high ISO due to low light levels.
