There are meadows in Maryland with their meandering hills and late summer grasses. With hot summer days and cool nights, the meadows are covered in mist and dew. It’s a magical place to be in the early morning before the sun rises.
I arrived early to capture the meadows before my students arrived for my photography class. Alone I was on the misty meadow with its mysterious nature and it’s serenity. Well, I thought I was all alone until a herd of six white-tailed deer bucks raised their head to greet me.
It was a gentle sunrise with the fog and mist muting the colors of the sun. She was slow to rise, but quickly gained strength once free of the mist.
While the sun was rising, the moon was starting to set behind me. Such a peaceful place the meadow is.

I love your photography and these are very atmospheric with the early morning mist. The deer add a special touch. I can feel the peace of this lovely meadow.
It was so wonderful Isabella. Thank you so much and thrilled you got the feeling I had while being there this morning.

Would love to have been there too….but the dratted mosquitos would have eaten me alive. 🙂
Believe it or not Joan – no bugs !!
All nice. Like the depth and layers of the second shot. And trophy white-tails in the mist – great capture!
You are too sweet Nick, and such a kind comment. Thank you! The deer were an extra bonus.
You have beautifully captured the misty morning on the meadow! Wow!
Mother Nature provided me the canvas, all I had to do was work with the scene to the best I could. Thank you so much Tiny for your kind words.
