Charleston, SC

Last summer I visited Charleston, SC, a town I really like a lot. I photographed this carriage horse at it took some time to cool off from the hot August afternoon. I found this picture looking through my files and thought it was worth sharing.

Spring Dreaming
Filed Under Wildflowers, Winter 2010
It is another gray winter day here in Delaware today. I was thinking of spring, so I dug out a photograph of some May coreopsis. As brown as the vegetation is this time of year, I thought it might be nice for those of us who enjoy more vibrant colors to be reminded of what will be soon.

Pintail Airways
Filed Under Ducks, Winter 2010
There are hundreds of Northern Pintails feeding in a marsh in southern Delaware this winter. I don’t think I have ever seen so many in one place before. I keep photographing them because every day I see them it may be the last, if they move on to another spot. This is from this morning.

Drake Pintail
Filed Under Ducks, Winter 2010
I had hoped to catch the setting sun at the coast tonight, but the clouds closed down the sun pretty early. So, I looked back over the pintail photographs I have taken recently and found this handsome drake.

Snowgeese + Sunset Afterglow = A Nice Moment
Filed Under Scenics, Snow Geese, Sunrises and Sunsets, Winter 2010
Last night I photographed the pintails that I posted last night and on the way out of the marsh I saw a thousand or more snowgeese in a field just after the sun had set. Here is one from that moment.

Pintails Leaping
Filed Under Ducks, Winter 2010
The weather has warmed up here in Delaware but the Northern Pintails are still feeding in the same places in the marsh that they frequented when it was frozen over. My thanks to them for being cooperative subjects.
