Morning blues

For those that follow me you will know I love early morning walks, especially to avoid the heat during the day and with my history with skin cancer is another reason I avoid walks in the direct sun, and head out for most of my walks before and during sunrise when the temps are cooler, plus less people are out and about at that time so I find it peaceful and a nice way to start the day.
So for this post, I am going to share photos from various walks, some in the last few days and some further back, all focusing on the morning blues, OK a couple may not be so early morning but still the blues

Starting with this shot taken from beside the Hurricane barrier wall at the end of Gifford Street, there is a small boat launch ramp off to the left

Next up a shot taken the same day as the first shot, I was watching the Osprey nest and saw this cormorant start to take off and snapped a few shots, I liked this one the bird just out of the water and the golden color of the sunrise shining in the splashing water

This one I included just to show I don't always get good shots, or perhaps more apt in these case I sometimes mess up and move the camera while it is taking a long exposure, most I never edit and share, but I liked the funky effect on this one
