Daily Post Photo Challenge: Silence
As I was out for a stroll the other day, I spotted these two silently fishing for their lunch…
A young Blue Heron. Isn’t his plumage colorful?
An Ibis.
My kind of silence. Plus I was able to try out my new lens.

What could be more “serene” than a quiet evening at the beach? Hope you enjoy.

What can be more transient than sand art. Every May Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) holds a sand art contest on Tybee Island. Here are some of the transient entries from this year. We have:
As they say on Tybee….”Leave only your Footprints.”

I thought this was an appropriate shot for this weeks photo challenge. The ibis in the front has a clear and sharp shadow. For the one in the rear, there is no shadow at all. With his upside-down pose and twisted neck….he truly could be saying, “Where’s my shadow?”
Daily Post Photo Challenge: Ambience
4:30 in the morning, as I rose to answer nature’s call, I looked out the window and this is what I saw. I ran down stairs to get my camera and stood on the porch in my nightie and bare feet. While I took several pictures, this is the only one that turned out because I didn’t have a tripod set up. I do think it demonstrates the special ambience of that moon-lite night.
The pelicans, the gulls and the dolphins all waiting and anticipating a wonderful snack from the fishermen.
Calm peaceful water…a source of joy, a thing of beauty. Tybee Island on a warm clear day. The egret searching for his dinner.
This past week, not so much. Hurricane Matthew changed our landscape and reminded us of the power of water. Lots of damage, but no loss of life in our little community. We’ll clean up and move forward and always remember the power of water.
Developing Your Eye 1, Day Nine – A Pop of Color
Let’s go wild today. I don’t know why but these lizards truly fascinate me. From my on-line research, they are a kind of chameleon called a Carolina Anole. I just think they are fun. Plus this one is bright green and fulfills the assignment.

Day 7 of Developing Your Eye 1 – Big
The powers that be are dredging the Savannah River so that even more gigantic boats can sail into the port and deliver more fine goods from around the world.
Here is a photo of a work ship moving up the river. Just so you get a perspective of the size, take a look at the seagulls and kayak in the foreground and if you look on the right hand side of the boat you can just make out a guy sitting on the deck. The only problem that I have with photographs like this is they really can’t give you the true feeling of how big and awe inspiring these ships are.
