The first rays hit the western bank of the lake, providing some of the greens of the day once again.

It was only a few days since the full moon, so it set only a couple of hours after dawn.

Yes, occasionally I will sleep in a tent. This actually is the second time I've slept in a tent this year. One other time I slept in a lean-to and the rest has been truck camping.

The fog rises above the pond. It looks perfect for taking photos, so I decide to hop in the kayak, and go for a paddle.

The mountain in the background is Barkaboom Mountain. The place I camped was on the shore a little ways from here.

It certainly was quite pretty out there, and a great unguarded swimming beach that was packed with people.

On this valley fog morning.
