Ah, just another morning in eastern Colorado with the mercury at well below freezing. The things I do to get pictures for you! 😉

I really should have setup my tripod for this shot so I could slow down the shutter speed and lower the ISO but, honestly, I just was not in the mood to stand out in that cold. I made a hasty exit from the warmth of my truck, ran down the shoreline, snapped some pics and then ran back to shelter. LOL!

Sunrise wasn’t going to amount to much due to the lack of clouds but the pre-show was pretty awesome with the blue and orange. I wish I could call it a “Denver Broncos sunrise” but, well, sigh, we just won’t go there. 🙁
