The afternoon sun fills the three rivers area as the water rolls lazily by. I had stopped at one of my favorite places to enjoy the last few rays of the sun and watch to see if the local eagle makes an appearance. So far I’ve not had a second chance to get a photo of it. The water birds still here though. As I look out towards the trestle bridge I hear the familiar sound of train coming up the track on the opposite side of the river. Small flycatchers skim the river picking off insects and performing acrobatic maneuvers that fighter jets can only dream of. In spite of the sun a damp breeze foretells of the coming rain. It’s a “No Agenda” kind of evening so I enjoy the sun while it lasts. I listen to the birds and eventually the mourning dove confirms my forecasts. Just beyond the mountains northwest of me the clouds are moving in and the light slowly dims and tells me that it’s time to climb back up into the big blue truck and head home.

The big blue truck slows to halt in the small parking lot. It’s still dark but the August morning air is already warm. The crickets are no longer chirping but the occasional cicada drones out in the ebbing darkness. After a few sips of coffee I set the break and begin unloading my gear. I was really on my way to photograph the one opportunity in my life for a solar eclipse but I had left with plenty of time for a few side trips. The sunrise over Long Point was shaping up to be a special one. I had all three cameras in place when the first rays of morning broke over the ridge. First was the reds and golds. As the light show progressed the colors shifted to pink and pale turquoise before becoming the deep blue that’s so familiar. I had read that at the time of an eclipse the light does unusual things but I didn’t expect a tropical sunrise. I took several pictures but this one from the T5 was the most unique. I had to be disciplined with my SD card because the main show was still several hours away. After packing up my gear back into the truck I sat in the cab and enjoyed a few more sips of coffee and continued to watch the sky change color as the sun made its appearance. Soon the colors settle into a normal sky and it’s time to head to the next stop. One more sip of my coffee and I pull back onto the highway.
