Mallard

I had an interesting experience capturing images of various birds at the bay level of the Ocean City Welcome Centre. Before Bhavna and I left the welcome centre, I photographed a trio of Mallard ducks (Anas platyrhynchos) in flight over the salt marsh. For some reason, I found it easier to get in-focus flying shots of these Mallards compared to the Ibis and Egrets I had photographed earlier, even though the lighting conditions were the same. Maybe the Mallards were more cooperative, or [...]

Little Blue Heron

After a session photographing the majestic Great Egrets, Glossy Ibis, and White Ibis, Bhavna and I decided to explore further beneath the bridge at the Roy Gillian Welcome Center in Ocean City.

Back home again after a week's vacation.

Here are some assorted photos from the week. From a selfie of me, to horses on Assateague, to a portrait of me made in sand by one of my 9 year old daughters.

Last photo is the pool towels cannister at the place we stayed at. I may be a mature adult in his early 40s, but the moment I saw that, had to take a snap of it.

Hope you had a great week. Back to...normal ish on Insta shortly.
