Went out to catch some early sun pictures, and the fog didn't burn off until around 10am. Not what I was planning, but caught a few shots of some tree swallows.

First two were in heavy fog. Last shot was right after the fog burned off at another location.

Thank you, and yes, I was disappointed with the light, because as you can tell from the last image, they get this blue metallic color with some sun.

Thank you for the kind words :) I like the last one as well as it looks like something that would be in a natural history museum.

Thank you! Just for reference, here is a shot taken about a half hour later than the tree swallows. By now, the fog was already starting to break. Should tell you the pea soup the swallows were in.
