August 24, 2009. Chase Lake, New York. I arose early in hopes of capturing some loons.
No loons. Mist.

Absolutely beautiful, Michael, calm and very serene >>> and as an ex-birder I even know what loons are! A 🙂

You may have mist the loons, but you made a very nice image. Quiet and peaceful…I’ll not use the ‘s’ word. 🙂

Thank you very much. And thank you so much for not using the “s” word. Someday I will post a picture of loons taken on the same lake.

I’m not sure what the taboo word is. Serene? Still? Soft?

No loons, but the mist looms, a worthy substitute.

And don’t forget funday. After writing my comment I noticed the other Steve had beaten me to it with “You may have mist the loons….” Wordplay and allusions to movies aside, this is quite a pleasant landscape.

Thank you. More to come. As the title might suggest, this is mist week.

For a photographer to have missed the mist would be a mist-ache.
