Actually it was quite cold temperature-wise, but the bird/photography/scenery action was incredible when I went to Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge last weekend. Lots of waders and lots of ducks, geese, and swans. I've been so swamped this week with end of the semester work, that this is the first chance I've had to get a few images completely processed and up on the website. Enjoy these samples and know that more are coming. Hopefully I can get some images up daily this week. Hope everyone had a fabulous weekend and if you have the chance to get out to Chincoteague in the next couple of months, I definitely recommend you make every effort to go! As always, click on any image to go to an enlarged version or to purchase.

These are SUPER! This is the kind of "sight seeing" I like to do when I'm out :)
ReplyDeleteA most lovely series! Each and every one of them are a feast for the eyes. All are outstanding. I'm especially fond of the reflection images and pintail stretching its wings. Beautiful work ... as always!
ReplyDeleteBreathtaking imagery! You've got 'the eye' for beauty in all things.
