I went to Cape Henlopen State Park tonight searching for a late afternoon/sunset photograph. The East End Light usually provides an interesting setting at this time of the day, but tonight the added element of men and boys with a seine net working the shallows was the perfect finish to the day. Thank you to them.

Turkey Vultures are natural cleaner-uppers. They consume anything dead they find. This specialized work is made much easier when there are no feathers to get in the way when they stick their heads into a carcass.

While many shorebirds fed on Horseshoe Crab eggs tonight, this Willet found a small crab for a little dietary variety. A Rusty Blackbird looks on with envy, perhaps.

The Delaware Bay beach was host to a variety of shorebirds tonight, feasting on horseshoe crab eggs. Red Knots, Semipalmated Plovers and Willets were the three most abundant species present.

I am in Connecticut this weekend and found this wildflower and fungus in the woods this afternoon. Can anybody tell me what the flower is?

It snowed this evening and I went out into the woods behind my house to light up the snow as it fell through the trees.

This photo was actually taken in August. Looking back over some inages from the past year, this struck me as one I should share.

It is appropriate, I suppose, to post the last sunrise and sunset of the calendar year on New Years Eve. The sun rise was “sailors take warning”, red sky and calm wind. The front came through and the sunset was a “sailors delight”.
