A dull cloudy fall day brightened with some pink.
Can’t ask for much more.

Fishing By A Marsh Dike, Eagle
At one point here there were so many Bald Eagles it was getting confusing where to focus. Most of the activity was off on the far side of the marsh.
Last minute I noticed an Eagle fly down a canal, between 2 Great Egrets.
The catch here was so fast I must have been shifting focus to miss the touch down.
He did get the fish. Better, he had enough space to rise up since 2 Alligators were watching.
Cold, Wet, Landscape
There is beauty out there even in the cold and damp.
This is part of an old canal that linked the interior to the marshes and waterways of the Lowcountry.
View these on a large screen if you can, they are very detailed images.
A New Perspective
A place I have seen and photographed hundreds of times. If you visit this web site you too have seen it. (Click here to view a recent shot).
I don’t remember ever taking a photograph of that spot from one of the dikes.
Above was taken as I walked down the side of this marsh, actually it was a remote plantation rice field a few hundred years ago.
The island has a single (and shaky) dead tree. Here it is filled with Roseate Spoonbills and a Great Blue Heron. Another Heron is fishing in the shallows, and what you can’t see is the scores Alligators in the marsh grass.
Scenes like this just reinforce how beautiful the Lowcountry wild lands are.
Waiting Patiently In The Reeds, Heron
I watched, and photographed, this Great Blue for a while. I was anticipating the quick strike into the water for a fish. It never happened. He was like a statue, the only movement was a slight head tilt now and then.

Foggy And Wet, Egret
A photograph taken that actually benefitted from the dark day.
Foggy And Wet Morning
There was no sunrise to photograph. I actually think this was better.
I never get to shoot a morning like this.

Great Blue Herons In The Reeds, A Fall look
Up north we had red colored trees and big piles of leaves. Down here it’s the dry cane and reeds.
This is fall out in the marshes.
