Nautical Twilight
The kids and I were out before daylight this morning, and the calm Back Bay water and reflecting light was captivating — that deep blue stage of twilight with just a hint of gold on the velvety water. We returned after breakfast and had a completely different view.
After sorting the images I decided to separate the two. The twilight shots are almost painterly — soft and blue in a way that daylight just doesn’t give you. I thought they deserved their own moment before the rest. I hope you enjoy both sets.

By then the light was normal daylight, and there were considerably more birds working the area.
