Morning fog at Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge with birds in the sky \u2013 Nikon D810, hand held, f6.3, 1\/500, ISO 800, Nikkor 18-200mm VR at 18mm, natural light<\/span><\/p>\nIn fact, the foggy conditions gave me the perfect opportunity to take more landscape photos of the refuge and a reason to share its splendor with all of you.<\/p>\n
The sunrise wasn’t as colorful as I had hoped it would be, but the fog added a bit of mood and drama to my images early in the morning.<\/p>\n
The bottomland hardwood forest found at this refuge looked mysterious, with the fog intertwined with the trees, sky, and fields. The air was actually warm, about 62 degrees, so the fog didn’t make me feel chilled at all; it felt great on my skin.<\/p>\n The views I saw of the refuge with the fog were a delight to see. The fog did make it hard to see the birds and wildlife early on, I didn’t mind that either.<\/p>\n My dear friend, Steve Creek<\/span><\/a>, spotted and pointed out this White-tailed Deer doe in the fog, and I set about photographing her. While this photo shows the doe calmly nibbling on something in the field with a blackbird in front of her, that wasn’t all this doe did.<\/p>\n The doe got the zoomies and dashed around in the foggy field, which had both of us laughing out loud. At times, she approached us and seemed to be inviting us to join in the fun. Yes, I know, that wasn’t really the case, but you had to be there to appreciate the feeling that she wanted us to get the zoomies too.<\/p>\n I’m certain I will share more photos of this foggy doe in the future, but for now, just this one image will have to do.<\/p>\n Life is<\/em> good.<\/p>\n Mia<\/p>\n Click here<\/span><\/a> to see more of my White-tailed Deer photo plus facts and information about this species.
