It’s always great to capture reflections in the water. But ones like these don’t happen very often,
The water was dead still, no wind, the only movement was the ripple made by the Skimmers open bill ‘skimming’ for fish.

Black Skimmers are such a unique animal that long after we’re done photographing we stand around watching in awe.
Natures perfect adaptation for the birds survival.

ACE Basin, South Carolina.
Wonderful photos, I like the added element of the grasses.
That particular marsh is dotted with clumps of salt grass. It always seems to have color, reflections… and almost no wildlife. 😀.
