Slanted Sun: Morning in Dog Marsh

Monday the day broke beautifully and I was out the door for a photowalk within minutes of waking up. I chose my go-to destination in hometown Hoquiam, Wash.: Dog Marsh on the Grays Harbor bay.

It's about a mile walk through town to Dog Marsh, and I arrived soon after the sun had popped over the hills to throw a slant of light over everything.

Often when I walk here I hurry along the gravel path to get to the water, but the light had me shooting almost as soon as I started down the gravel path.
