Environment:
Start Time: 3:20 PM Temperature: 51 degrees Sky: Cloud filtered sunshine.
Mornings remain quite chilly so I’m sticking to later afternoon walks. Not to say that these afternoons are wildly toasty. When I walk in the mornings I often start out dressed warmly and end my walk quite overheated. Now days I start out dressed lightly and as the Sun sinks I get less and less comfortable. Other than that ,things are not changing much day to day. I keep hoping to run across an Egret or an Eagle or something else more exciting than Mallards. Today’s featured image is another portrait of Liberty Point – this time in the late afternoon. Otherwise I have more Herons and Goldeneyes. I’ll keep trying.
