Managed to crawl out of bed this am to take some early morning pics of Jupiter, Venus and Mars.
Also saw quite a few meteors,esp between 4.15 - 4.45 - about 8 coming from above Sag, fast ...... not Lyrids, as wrong direction. I could see Lyra clearly to the NW ... these were more from the South.
Was a gorgeous morning .... and not a snake to be seen :whistle::whistle::whistle:

Thankyou Kev, Mike, Petra and Arthur ....I took about 110 pics ..... the beauty of DSLR .... and very hard to choose what to put in, though have also deleted quite a few duds.

Lovely images Liz,

Definitely worth the effort, like them all but the 4th, for me, is the stand out. The colour on the clouds from the sunrise framed by the trees either side and with the filtering effect of the tall grass in the foreground just make it very special.

Regards
Trevor

Very nice shots :). I managed to get up at dawn last week when away and couldn't believe how bright Venus & Jupiter were.

Oh wow Liz, those are some really beautiful images there.

Makes me envious of being so close to the water -- your images evoke the sounds and smells and peace at that time of the morning; the pics are all the sights you need to complete the trio!

Thanks for sharing.
