It was a quiet Labor Day evening on the Potomac River. I expected more people; all I saw was one kayaker a great distance off and one outboard motorboat with two fishermen, who told me they’d had quite a haul.
The egrets were definitely having a time of it. Watching them fish is a study in patience and quickness. I didn’t bring a lens longer than my old 105mm, so made it a game to see how close (and quietly) I could maneuver my canoe to them before they spooked.
I don’t usually stay out on the river so late, but the calm and quiet were a tonic and the evening light was quietly spectacular as well. Here’s what it looked like to me.
Very nice. It looks so serene and peaceful.
Thanks for posting! My hearbeat is now back in the ideal zone after having a virtual canoe ride. The aquaduct photograph is lovely. One special place…
Just gorgeous, Dennis! i especially love the shots with the canoe! Awesome! (-*
Just so utterly breathe taking what you capture; and how you bring it in a photo. Makes wanna sail that canoe and not think about nothing else around me. Peacefulness on the Potomac….beautiful!
Dennis, your eyes go straight to my heart.
