It seems there has been more gloomy weather than sunny this spring, and when it is clear there are sub-freezing temperatures in the morning. After two rainy days, Thursday morning was forecast to be clear and cool. I was anticipating a sparkling spring morning, but awoke to find the countryside cloaked in a blanket of dense fog.
I traveled to my favorite wildlife observation area and in time the fog began to lift. First a flock of turkeys appeared through the mist.
As the first rays of sunshine broke through the fog, a two year old buck and a yearling doe groomed and nuzzled one another.
As the fog lifted even more, it revealed the stunning beauty of an early spring morning. In a short time the leaves will emerge and this will be a lush summer-like scene.

What a stunning area Willard. I can just imagine what it looks like when the leaves are out on the trees. The two buck grooming each other is terrific and in your previous post, I love the dawn at Middle Creek. It has got to be my favorite time os day.
