At the 'Rise

Throw out the life-line!
Throw out the life-line!
Someone is drifting away;
Throw out the life-line! 
Throw out the life-line!
Someone is sinking today. An old church hymn.

The national cemetery has a pretty good-sized lake on its property, and I guess they felt the need to put up 10-12 life preservers.

My use for them? 
I played the waiting game...
to my spot, I laid my claim.
And so the preserver became...
my giant orb sunrise frame.

It was a pretty morning, but still cold. (24F.)

Four other shots of the morning are in my Extras.
