Morning In A Marsh
A quiet morning scene out in the marshes of the ACE Basin.
Egret, Green Swamp
It’s really green out there! The white bird stands out very clearly against it.
From an angle like this it’s hard to to see the bird is even over water. The thick Duck Weed covers everything here.
Strolling By
Out of habit I always study the marsh carefully when out walking. It’s also a good idea to pay attention to the salt marsh on the other side of this dike.
The mud is not very pretty, but you never know who you might find walking with you.
Found On A Walk, Lily
You couldn’t miss this one.
Old Plantation Pond
A view I’ve seen numerous times, but rarely photograph. Usually I am pointing higher up of this scene. Bald Eagles love to perch in these tree tops since the nest not far from here.
(Best viewed large)
A larger bridge, same style, was recently destroyed when one of these large trees fell on it. The bridge was approximately 200 years old. Amazing how they are rebuilding it with old sunken Cypress tress, the same wood as here, just as old as the original bridge.

First Heron Of The Day
I was thankful this Great Blue made no move to exit. These were grabbed as we escaped from the onslaught of starving mosquitoes. No time for any setup.
A few moments later I found why he was focused on something else. I noticed some big raptor sized bird moving through a pine stand on the waters edge.
While these are huge animals some of the raptors here are super sized too. A large hungry Eagle have been known to take a chance with them.
Morning Light Photograph, Night Heron
One of several birds photographed in a short period of time. The marsh light, and the dull background made for some interesting images.
