Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge

Monday, November 16th, 2009

With temps. in the 70’s and a clear sky all day my guess was we were going to have a killer sunset.  I decided to pack my new(used) 100-400 Canon zoom lens up and give it a workout at Bombay Hook Wildlife Refuge

near Smyrna,DE.  I didn’t arrive until 4:30 and was one of probably 25 others there to experience and photograph the sometimes thousands of ducks and geese that stop to take refuge at the refuge.  By 5pm the action was starting and the sun was going down. By 5:15 it was almost dark but the colors in the sky were awesome as the birds moved about. Then it was dark and the mosquitoes were tearing me up. So it was time to head home.

Point Udall In St Croix USVI

Saturday, November 7th, 2009

The first time I traveled out to Point Udall from our USVI   St Croix rental  condo the Seabreeze it was a bright,hot day. Upon arriving at the high wind swept point I saw a hugh storm brewing in the Caribbean out toward the British Virgin Islands. As a photographer in the US Virgin Islands I grabbed my Canon 5D Mark II and started shooting the developing scene. Then I stopped and slowly turned around 360 degrees and what a view.Of course it changes with each passing hour and I can;t wait to get back for a sunrise. This image was created from 2 separate images stitched together to make one.You can see more St Croix images at  PtUdallpanowww.photograpstcroix.com
