Scenic Mornings

I had an amazing drive into work this morning... Drove over Buford Dam as the thick white fog was creeping up from the river, rolling over the road, and then spreading over the Lake Lanier. It was absolutely gorgeous!

I wanted to stop so bad at the park and drink my coffee-- so that I could continue to marvel at this rare morning. I drive over the dam every morning, and lets just start by saying it can be quite dangerous b/c I get easily distracted by the beauty over the morning sun over the lake or fog laying low on the river. But of all the mornings I have driven this route (almost 9 mos now) I have never seen the drive this beautiful. The Sun was gleaming through the clouds just perfectly over the lake to make the fog glimmer as it crept over the still glass-like water. I am hoping that with the cooler weather of fall and winter approaching that just maybe there will be a few more of these morning in the near future. wish I had a picture of it! and I will be armed with a camera next time.

Picture not of this mornings drive -- but a pic I took one overcast morning when the sky looked like a watercolor painting, while one distinct beam of sun came shining through the clouds onto the lake. (I-phone pics just don't do it justice)
