Sunrise this morning from Lake Irvine

Explore #1,2,10, not really sure where it is now?
www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/2009/01/10/

I didn't have any fishing gear with me this morning, just my camera. Luckily the lady was nice enough to give me a wristband for 15 minutes, otherwise it's 22$ to enter.

Thanks again for giving me that 15 minutes!! Trust me I'll be back to do some fishing!

Looks like a beautiful area Steve! Those trouts are amazing... where's yours by the way? I don't see you name in the catch of the day section?!?! Huh? ;)

The shot... well, what can be said about a fabulous blue and purple sky, super crisp details and reflections clearer as any mirror? I like it! :)
Hope you have a great weekend my friend!

Alright, alright, you've convinced me to go out and buy one. These results are wonderful!

Irvine Lake....I used to go fishing there with my Pops when I was a kid. He'd drop by school and pick me up for a Father/son day.....complete surprise. I remember all the kids in class being jealous. We loved it because it's so close (relatively speaking) to Los Alamitos and Seal Beach. I sure do miss "home", but I don't miss the crowds. :)
