Sunday morning suprise sunrise sky....Explore

Saturday evening the weather forecast for Sunday morning was for cloudy skies so I did not set my alarm to be at the park before sunrise. As I usually do I wake up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom and get a drink of water and check the forecast once again. So at 4:00 AM I check my phone and now it says partly cloudy until 9 or 10:00AM. So there I lay wide awake now thinking I better get up 45 minutes earlier than I set my alarm. Well I never fell back to sleep, got up early and made it to the park before sunrise only to be greeted to a mostly gray overcast sky. Standing there by my Jeep looking at a disappointing sky I only grab my mono-pod, 600mm lens and the 24-105mm lens. and head down to the river bank. 

I meet Lee halfway to the Grand River and start complaining about how every Sunday morning skies always are pretty crappy. As we walk to the rivers edge the sky is really doing nothing so we just wait there until it gets a little brighter so we can photograph the birds. Then all of a sudden 15 minutes after sunrise the sky breaks up and this happens. So there I stand without my tri-pod and set-up to photo the birds. I make a quick lens change and just started shooting the sky. 

So here it is....only clouds and nothing more.
