A misty morning

Sunday morning was not overcast and the waning moon fell fast in the west. As the sun rose, a low mist formed. Ground fog, or Tule fog as they call it in California. It didn't last long, maybe ten or fifteen minutes, before it dissipated.

You can see the mist forming and settling in the low spots.

I had decided to take the long lens out, without knowing that there would be fog. I regretted not taking the tripod out, too. The light was low and the tripod would have let me take longer exposures with better depth of field. I was restricted to hand-held apertures and shutter speeds, meaning very shallow depth of field and grainy images. Still, I think I got a few good shots, so I'll share them.
