It was early in the morning in Occidental California. I got up and was wandering around the house. I was in between jobs so I wasn't in any sort of rush. I lived in a house on a hill that overlooked a canyon. I looked out the window and was taken by the beauty of the mist in the trees. I didn't hesitate to go to my room and get out my camera and tripod. I took several shots. This one was my favorite. Not only was the shape of the mist aesthetically pleasing, but I happened to capture a few birds passing by.
