Misty winter ducks
Last Autumn I visited local McLaren Falls Park around 7.30am to try and photograph some Autumn colours.
In Cherry Bay I parked my car and walked down to the lake through the icy cold shadows breathing icy cold air and stopped at the edge of the water where alot of ducks were, some were resting and others were starting to come to life as the sun started to warm where I was standing.
I think what impressed me the most was the fog that was slowly rising from the water into the air. Due to living up north for 20 years I'd never seen this before as over winter for us it was mostly rainy and damp. Hopefully next Autumn I'll be back there again.

I remember your post about McLaren Falls. One of the places I visited, and so enjoyed, on my last visit to New Zealand (which was also the start of autumn). That is a beautiful reminder. Thank you.
Wonderful photos! I love the fog on the water. What a great capture.
Love that early morning light Amy.. the mist coming off the water looks amazing! This is the first time I've seen black swans on anyone else's blog 😀
great morning walk. Nice colors and birds. Always love to see black swans :)
Lovely shots!
This is one of the places I always visit when back home. Lovely to see the photos
I like the fog rising off the water in the first shot.
These are lovely Amy.

I have a typical Northlander's admiration for foggy photos. You're right, they are not so easy to get up here, unless you are luck enough like me to live near the mountains. I love that mystical first photo and the crispy sharp second shot.
