Last night, there was a very colorful sunset and I hoped for similar conditions at sunrise this morning at Great Falls park.  I wasn’t disappointed as the sky lit up just before sunrise while adding a little color to the Potomac River.

After the sunrise show was over, I moved closer to river, coming across a small swirling pool of water. An exposure of 4 seconds captured the patterns on the water.

The leaves on the trees at the park have started to turn gold and brown and many have been knocked off the trees by rain and wind this week.  However, the early morning light from the sun adds some color back to the trees and casts a nice glow on the rocks in the river.

While the leaves at Great Falls have stated to fade, my front yard has captured a nice collection of colorful leaves.  Seems a shame to have to rake…..
