Visiting my friend
Keith's Blog brought this trip to mind, a visit to the Huntington Beach State Park near Myrtle Beach, SC. Its a wonderful salt marsh and there is a great camp ground there and just one hop over the dune and there is the Atlantic Ocean! But what I really love about it is the wading birds and of course the alligators!
I stalked this egret who was stalking his dinner-- but didnt allow my presence to put him off his game...he spots something toward the brush...
He heads toward it...
Then he zeros in...
He jabbed into the water so quickly I missed that shot..but he came up with this huge shrimp!
He repositioned...
Then down the hatch!...No melted butter--
Lots of other wading birds can be seen there but many people come to this park to see these guys...this shot I took some liberties with some exotic framing techniques!
If you are ever in the area this is a "gotta see it" spot!
