Beverley Pohlner, 'Slow awakening' (Places)

This is a photo of a very foggy morning on the Nhill Lake,( a small body of water.) I saw the bird sitting on the branch and was afraid that it would fly away before I got close enough to photograph it. Thankfully it remained and the Sun struggled to shine through the fog. I felt uplifted by the mood of the morning, its freshness and beauty
