Got up at 3:45 yesterday morning to get to the Gardens by sunrise, but alas, for the fifth time, there was nothing happening. We even had early morning mist, a late night thunderstorm and partly cloudy skies when I left the house. By the time I got there it was totally overcast and remained that way for the first couple hours of light. Oh well, maybe next time.

I know these don't match up to the great images I see here all the time but it is the best I can do so far. Any advice or CC would be appreciated.

Wonderful images, all of them. #1 is my favorite, I love the colors and the water drops are great. Love the light in #4 and all of the colors in #7 got my attention. TFS :-)
