Sunrise Beach
Cherry Creek Reservoir State Park, outside Denver, Colorado….it’s pretty amazing the tranquility one can find in nature so early on a summer’s morning….and here I sat…on the shoreline, tripod 1/2 in the water, 4ND and my CPL bolted to my 18-70….watching this whole scene play out..
Yeah, talk about a relaxing moment and just a nice time kicking back and unwinding….this was it! And yes that is a Pelican in the water…”a Pelican in Colorado???” you say? Yes, migratory birds….they come up all the way from South America and spend a few months here…wild huh? Why here where there is no Ocean is beyond me, but they call us home for awhile. I will say this—they are without a doubt the most skiddish of any bird I have ever seen….they didn’t cme within 200 feet of me, and when they saw me driving up in my car, from 500 feet away, they turncoated and made way fast lol
Well hope ya all like it, let me know what ya think!

John – nice shot, very serene. We get pelicans in Lakewood on their way to Ft Collins for mating season. Not quite so skittish – maybe 50-60ft off shore. Nice warm color.

Amazing colours, I love the fade from the bright orange to a bluish purple. I am sure the wait was worth it!

From the tranquility of the gentle surf tinged with purple under the orange waves , to the brilliant background color, this is what ORANGE should be! I mean, orange and serene is what an OXYMORON is all about. I have never been fond of orange and here it is beckoning me to close my eyes and dream! I can’t believe it!
