On Saturday I slept in – 5:10 am. I figured I didn’t need as much time to get to the beach for sunrise because I had planned to go only as far as Linden Shores. I was right about the timing, but again I had misjudged where the sun would peek over the horizon. I thought I had taken sunrise shots at this location previously, so after getting home I checked the metadata on those files and realized they had been shot in February – file that info away!
I saw some amazing clouds picking up beautiful color way off to my left and behind buildings and trees. I had to ignore that and work with what I had right in front of me. Two weeks ago my only companion was an early fisherman, last week my only companions were Canada Geese who were more surprised to see me than I was them, this week my only companions were bugs. Bugs, bugs, BUGS! They were getting in my ears, my nose and my eyes! I stayed around long enough to capture these.
Sunday morning it’s back to Tuttles Point in Guilford where I know the sun rises. I’m looking for new spots close to Branford and Guilford so if you have any ideas please comment here!

It was 58 degrees, enough for me to wear a jacket and I still felt a slight chill. Once again the sky didn’t look like it was going to be very dramatic. Once I set up quickly and took the first shot I realized I had some great company this morning!
Even without extra dramatic clouds the morning was beautiful and I got quite a few shots I really liked.
