I’ve discovered a new found appreciation for B&W sunrise ‘scapes’, as long as the subject has some drama to it.
Bone Yard at dawn.
Sunrise, Different Flavor

Sun Behind A Cloud, Tricolored Heron
This is one of several photographs taken as this Tricolor worked the edge of a marsh. The sun must have gone behind clouds (no settings changed) to get a vivid reflection here.
Confirms A Theory, Alligator
I’ve had a theory about Alligators, but it’s not main stream yet.
Alligators are just big (really big) frogs.
Just look below…
Now one flaw in my thoughts are their teeth. Big teeth in a huge head.
Thank goodness this thing can’t jump like one. Or have a big sticky tongue!
Another case of you don’t know what you might find out there.
First Light, Ocean Salt Marsh
My view at dawn walking through a salt marsh to the ocean.
Some mornings it’s OK to get up early.
Quick Meal, Pelican, Gull
I noticed a Brown Pelican on a pier with something freshly caught. He was also in a staring contest with a nearby Gull. Pelicans may be larger, however the Gulls are master thieves.
From above another joined the scene, hovering over the Pelican.
Suddenly the meal was finished. There was no time for the Gulls to make a move. The Pelican had no time either.
I have seen Gulls standing right on a Pelican that has a catch. If you think about it, what can he do ? This Pelican was taking no chances, besides who wants a Gull standing on their head.
Found On A Walk, Church Grave Yards
A few shots taken as we walked through several of the old Charleston church yards.
These wanderings are a lesson in history. You will find stories from the US Revolutionary War, our Civil War, pandemics, and even earthquakes.

Marsh Flight, Great Egret
Finally !! A bird in flight opportunity. I’ve been in a drought, through no fault of my own either.
I have not been out shooting a lot for a while. I know each spring I’m rusty and miss shots. Now I’m going to be extra out of sorts.
The other day an Egret gave me a chance.
No bird detection used here. In normal walks I don’t see myself walking around with the function always on. Best to use tried and true methods for now.

Marsh Residents, Snails
I can’t say I know anything about them. Millions of them live here unnoticed for the most part.
Sea snails. Living in the coastal salt marshes they surface during low tide. To even see them you need to be in the marsh at the right angle as the water recedes.
Almost every thicker stalk and large blade of grass has at least one.
Just an interesting observation.
