Early morning, late summer

My bicycle commute takes me by this small pond. Situated in a park area, by afternoon it is populated by kids fishing and dogs running after sticks thrown for them to fetch. But early in the day, it is generally a solitary place, visited only by the occasional heron standing statue-like in a quest for breakfast. One day last week, the morning was cool- a welcome respite from recent August mornings when the air feels too warm and wet even at 6AM. The cool air caused a fog to float on the pond surface which was otherwise clear as glass.
