A small shelter

It’s not exactly what I was hoping for tonight, as I was hoping the street light right behind this gazebo would turn on and give a soft glow from the back, it didn’t happen soon enough. I was able to get a few nice shots in the dusk, with slowly dwindling light. After a little editing, I think I have an image that may become a nice desktop wallpaper for my computer. It’s a bit of an artistic attempt on my part. I like it and I hope you find it beautiful too.

Enjoy!

Silhouettes in the Sunset

Driving towards the beach I figured This is Florida. Sunset’s on the beach or intercoastal waterway is always nice. I didn’t make it quite as far as the beach.  There is a small park on the way to the beach that I figured I’d stop at. There is, after all, a unique looking small bridge.  As I circled the park searching for a parking space, I saw a Great Blue Heron standing on the sea wall.  The sun began to sink lower in the sky, turning from a bright yellow to a soft orange. The haze from a brush fire blowing in from the Okefanokee National Wildlife Refuge in Georgia gave a unique glow in the sky. Being that I only have an 18-55mm lens for my camera, any wildlife photography is rather difficult and tries my patience. In order to get a good shot, I had to creep up slowly, step-by-step, moving directly towards the bird when it was looking away. I was able to get within 20 feet (more or less) and get a couple shots.

Enjoy.

Tranquil Reflections

Not much of a story behind this one. The library near my home has  a lake behind it and was able to catch the sun sinking lower in the sky reflecting off the lake.
