Flowers of all shapes and sizes grow in swamps and marshes. This small plant probably out shines most.

Great Blue In The Cane

This Heron was hiding in a marsh, and trying to keep cool. The wings open and hanging low hope to catch any breeze.

There was none.

Swallowtail

I know there are many types of Swallowtails, but most I cannot identify.

I’m pretty sure one is called a Black Swallowtail.

I’m going with that one.

It caught my eye.

I don’t remember seeing many shells like these around here.

Of course I don’t really look either.

Spoonbills Finding A Feast

This group was plowing through the water, moving past, and wanting to get some distance between us. One of them discovered something and I was suddenly not all that important.

They did keep watch, but sifting through the shallows was not going to be stopped for some human standing on the dry land.

Cyan Sunset

I keep getting drawn into monochrome / B&W shots lately. Maybe it’s the time of year, a rut, or whatever. It does keep me looking at images for texture and light.

This is looking out from an inlet, the Atlantic Ocean straight ahead.

Bald Eagle Watching A Marsh, And Me

September 20, 2018 Ted Jennings - TPJ Photography 2 Comments

We spotted this Eagle flying over a marsh when heading back in. I took a few shots as he went by, not all that good. I was still just using a lighter weight lens (an old sore back) with a maximum range of 400 mm.

I knew where he was heading but never thought he would be there when I finally caught up.
