Found myself this week pretty much bogged down replacing the HVAC interior unit and repairing and replacing the soaked floor at my rental home. At least the girls who rent are happy 92 deg. todays high and sticky. I also spent every evening this week in meetings of different sorts, making this evening the first time I was able to get out and shoot. I had all intensions of shooting at the beach but that was short lived when everywhere I checked the crowds were insane, needless to say no birds in sight. As I continued south I found the same soooo Pea Island became my refuge so to speak. Other than 6 or 7 tourist I had the place to myself but the birds were far and few. I set my tripod up in front of one of the benches and spent some quality time with the great outdoors. I was able to snap off a couple of shots of a Great White Egret walking bye.
A storm front was moving in as sunset was nearing. The outer edge of the front just did cover the sun producing a wonderful golden hue. I decided to drive south to check out the South Pond, about half way down a little cove nears the road I saw some ducks and other small shore birds in the grasses. Not much fun or room shooting on the side shoulder while a steady stream of new visitors fly bye. Sometimes we have to just take what we can get.
All in all I enjoyed this evening.

at least the summer is winding down to an end, and all the summer crowds and traffic will be decreasing for you down there.
I'm not so lucky as we have what i have heard is about another month before the severe cold weather sets in and we see lots of the 'ol snow.
Any swells lately?
