Writing, birding and photography are a few of my many interests. When I can combine a couple of them into one fabulous moment, I am more than contented.
In the process of photographing a gorgeous sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean in northern Florida, a willet wandered into the frame. I love when those unexpected opportunities arise. The shorebird was merely out on its morning breakfast stroll, probing the wetted sand for any tasty morsels along the seashore. For me, however, having the bird enter the scene right as the sun dawned provided a spot of perspective for the colorful seascape. I couldn’t have been happier.
“Willet at Dawn” is my Photo of the Week.

That’s a beautiful sunrise photo and made more special by the appearance of the Willet. Florida provides some wonderful photo opportunities.

You’re welcome! I kind of skirted the “valley” this week. From Holmes County, to Hagerstown, then Richmond, Farmville, and on down to Charleston, SC, and heading North via Landrum, Morganton, Asheville, Wytheville, and finally Hurricane, WV!

Skirted is putting it mildly. That’s a lot of driving. I hope the roads were ok for you.
