Morning Mist - Fossil Creek Wetlands Natural Area; City of Fort Collins Natural Areas

Went out to take a sunrise photo on a foggy morning and found this scene more to my liking. The cottonwood tree at the right of the frame is in the bottoms of Fossil Creek which meanders through this meadow from right to left. You would think that I am out on the prairie in the middle of nowhere, but this landscape is in the Fossil Creek Wetlands Natural Area which is maintained by the City of Fort Collins. As such it is surrounded by suburbia, shrouded in the fog on the ridgeline just visible across the center of the frame, at the south end of the city. View is to the south with the sunrise at the left of the frame.
