Lorraine Creagh
The lighting is so serene. I think I will stop and sit :-)
Rosalie Dale IPA
Aw Skeeter thank you. I only just joined and uploaded so you were really quick off the mark. This is one of my favourites also.
Bobbie
Wow this makes me actually think I should (shock) get up early sometime, I seem to be missing out.
Rosalie Dale IPA
Don’t worry Bobbie – I don’t make a habit of this (although I guess I should) ... the light is so soft esp with a mist.
Mike Emmett
Can’t beat that early morning light. I realy must get out of bed earlier. Great capture.
Rosalie Dale IPA
Thank you Mike – have been thinking the same thing – it really does make a difference (unfortunately!).
Peter Davidson
I love the lonely feel of this …
Rosalie Dale IPA
Hi Peter – alone in the morning mist – not a bad place to be! Thanks for the visit and comment. (AND for the favouriting!)
Neil Boucher
This is just beautiful Rosalie – I love early mornings and I don’t see enough of them.
Rosalie Dale IPA
I’m having a bit of a smile here Neil – I love the results of getting up early too – I just don’t like the ‘getting up’ bit!!! Thanks for you kind comments.
Tiffany Dryburgh
Gorgeous! So inviting and serene.

Rosalie, this has always been one of my favoites of all your work. The light is just beautiful and the way it affects the colors makes this a magical image.
Rosalie Dale IPA
You’re a pal – thanks Marvin.
Bonnie T. Barry
Green is my favorite color; morning is my favorite time of day. What more could I want? You’ve found a haven just to my liking. You have a gift for finding and photographing these serene places that invite us to “stop and sit” as Skeeter said.
Rosalie Dale IPA
Thanks Bonnie – this is one of my own fav photos … pleased you like it.
Eyal Nahmias

Hi Rosalie. A Garden somewhere …. is looking for photos of this quality and calibre if you are interested in submitting this photo and any other photos you may have with a garden design theme.
Cheers, Graham.
Jan Timmons
Despite my own modest entry in the romantic benches challenge, I decided to vote for this. So beautiful and the mist or fog give a serene feel. Love the hues.
I enjoyed your mention of the overworked or overfilled external hard drives. And I was delighted to see that you host National Parks of the World – a wonderful site to peruse. Good to “meet’ you virtually, Rosalie!
Rosalie Dale IPA replied
Jan thank you for all the kind words, the favouriting, and for adding me to your watchlist! This lovely large parkland is now making it difficult for photographers – if there is any chance that something you shoot may be sold, you need to ask permission and pay a fee (in theory) to shoot!!! They consider us ‘professionals’. It is a shame to curtail people’s enjoyment of an area that was gifted to the locals by a farming family. So many places are now trying to introduce rules such as this … Great to meet you also Jan!!
