A near-perfect weather morning was all the encouragement I needed to get out for a photo walk with Max.
A little too late for sunrise and morning mist, but just right for the morning magic hour lighting.
Max and I walked the mile to Birdsboro Reservoir and lapped it. Still waters with vivid reflections were at every angle.
After the reservoir we headed down to the little dam on Hay Creek for some potential stream subject matter.
Joe-pye weeds (as pictured) align Hay Creek Road which is a favorite of butterflies and insects, but in the morning the road is shaded by the hills so not the best for photography. However, along the canal and by the stream were lots of sun lit joe-pyes loaded with butterflies.
Two hours flew by with just a little over 2 miles covered.
