Early on an autumn morning after a evening rainfall, fog surrounds this scenic forest lake. As the sun rises the fog begins to lift and a small water fowl swims over to meet me as I am taking pictures. It is as if he poses in the middle of the water to give an opportunity to capture a wildlife portrait of a duck in the midst of this autumn forest reflection.

Early Autumn morning at the Mabry Mill on the Blue Ridge Parkway. There are a few ducks that like to frequent this pond and seemed they wanted to have the cameras attention this morning. So I needed to wait until they chose to make their way to the shore and let the water settle before attempting a reflective shot such as this.

As we are driving through the Blue Ridge Parkway we happen across this beautiful scenic country farm. The early morning light gives an opportune moment for us to capture a few shots of this wonderful scenic Blue Ridge Mountain View.

Along the blackwater river in West Virginia a colorful maple tree shows the fall colors early in the morning. Autumn colors from the forest trees line the river side in the Canaan Wildlife Refuge. Since this area is 3000 feet above sea level the autumn colors have changed earlier here.

Early in the morning from the top of Cheat Mountain in West Virginia. The early morning sunrise was beautiful this day and we are excited to go take some fall foliage pictures.

Early morning heavenly sunshine peeks over the top of the mountain range above the Seneca Creek trail in the wonderful mountains of West Virginia.

The Autumn sky at Spruce Knob Mountain Early in the morning on a fall day looking into the valley. This picture was taken with my old Canon rebel 350D. I did not post the full high resolution image at the time that I published this picture. I just happened across this while search through my image library and wanted to give you the full high resolution version. There are a few more like this to come. Hope you enjoy!

The sun is rising at this little white country country church during a cold winter morning. This little white church is on top of a mountain near French Creek West Virginia. The snow has not been disturbed and looks soft and new from the night before.

Early in the morning viewing the autumn colors from the mountainside of Spruce Knob, WV. Here we are looking toward the western side of Spruce knob and the sun is just now rising behind us. The fall foliage scenery from up here is simply amazing in the late evening and early morning. Since there is no shade on the highest mountain in West Virginia the only way you can get subtle colors for photography is during an overcast day. Just over the hill is a little road where I have set and listened to my radio at night. Believe it or not I could pick up a radio station from Huntington West Virginia clear as a bell, which is about 200 miles away.
