Summer Cometh

Summer cometh in The South.  Hot. Hazy. Humid.  Day after day.  

I was late this morning and — once again — I  forgot to put my camera bag out in the truck, in the garage, overnight.  Why do I need to do that (asks the Northerners)?  So, as soon as I took my (air-conditioned, cold) camera out of the bag, it fogged up.  And I was late. As I tell people all the time, no excuses because the Sun doesn't wait.  

So here I was with a fogged up camera, nearing sunrise, so I grabbed the rodeo camera (with the big lens) and set up this picture. (It stays in the truck so it was already warmed up.)  A rodeo camera, shooting straight at the Sun at F22. (I wanted some depth of field.) Guess what I've been doing all morning?
