As sunrises go, Caddo Lake sunrises can be over the top sensational. And, after experiencing the intense reds from our second day there earlier this month, I voiced disappointment in the more subdued colors from our third morning there. When I asked to trade places in the boat on our last morning, I took a bit of a ribbing about it, as if 18 inches further forward in the boat could possibly make a difference in the color. In my defense, I actually asked to trade so I could be in the front with an unobstructed view of the lake and laughed off the good natured ribbing I took from my companions. However, on that last day, there was almost no color in the sky. And, now, a couple of weeks removed from the trip and a second look back at sunrise images from the third morning, I was struck by how much color there actually was. And, the color is intensified and expanded because of the reflections of the sunrise in the water. I don’t know why I could have possibly felt disappointment in this sunrise. It is subdued but it is every bit as spectacular as the other sunrises we experienced there.
Carol, outt.
