Hi y'all.

I've made some visits to the Merritt Island National Wildlife Reserve and here are a few captures from Black Point Drive.

Been there a few times Harry, a very relaxing place and not too much traffic. Had to keep an eye open for the Alligators laying by the side of the water. We have a condo at Cocoa Beach and visit every November.

Love the Roseate Spoonbill shots. I don't think I got close enough to one to see it with this much detail.

Great job.

Really nice series...but I can't help marvel at the 5th one with the wingtip touching the water. That last one is tack (ouch) sharp!
