Up, earlier than sunrise, traveling, from High Level to Fort Vermilion … early, early morning to witness all that comprises sunrise – the Peace River looking east from Fort Vermilion at the newly risen sun, a beaver marking territory, a Buttertown homestead and cattails coloured in spring splendor.

  Hello, hello …
  
  I agree, the first image has most of spring’s colouring … and they are cattails … a growing theme.

I like the sunrise a lot, but am fascinated by the linear lines in the homestead. Very good, with beautiful colours.

  Hey there, Jim …
  
  The homestead is one that I’m coming back to time and time again throughout the year – age and former time attract; more recent shots have to do with the homestead within setting. Lines of the homestead seem to give it strength and are at contrast with the surroundings of lake, field/pasture and trees/foliage.
  
  I’m liking the sunrise shot, too, and am likely to explore water shots.
  
  Take care … 😉

I was going to comment about the light in the first photo and then got completely distracted by the beaver! 🙂 enjoyed this post!
