This is one of the images that I made while cycling in he Parker River Wildlife Refuge on Plum Island last week. I really need to go out another evening with a zoom lens. The evening brings in many more birds than one sees during the day and the light is amazing.
Wonderful river, great shot!
Ciao

Thank you so much, Sid. Cheers 🌼
Beautiful. I plan to visit. Are there many pesky black flies this time of year?
There were some but I was there at dusk, which may have contributed to it. Get there before the green headed flies are out. I think Newburyport has a n art festival of some sort this weekend. Cheers 🌼
Beautiful! May I ask “salt marsh” – was this a salt pan before it became a river? Or what is a salt marsh?
A marsh is low lying land that routinely floods. In this case, it floods with salt water from the ocean. I don’t think it was ever a salt pan.
Thank you kindly for explaining. Now I know😊
This is fabulous, Chris 🙂
First I thought that you post a painting… I wonder how it looks in the light of sunset or morning.
Mo-hugs and kisses ❤
Hello, Ms. Mo-hugs. Thank you. This was close to sunset. The sun was going down just to the right of the image. I’m glad you like it. Cheers 🌼
Oh, yeah, I understood, Chris. I was talking about a red-orange sky 🙂 You know what I mean…
Cheers!
That would be cool. We did not have that kind of color that night. But it makes me think I should learn the type of weather that makes that color. Cheers
It would be cool, indeed 🙂
Cheers
Fantastic indeed!!!
Thank you, Soheir. I hope all is well. Cheers 🌼
All is well
I am just studying my lessons
Thanks God!
Thank you Chris!!
Same here. Lots of studying. But my third term is almost done and then there is just one more. 😃
I will have my final exam in August God willing!
I hope I will get high marks!!
I know you work hard at your studies and hope you do well. Are your studies done in August?
Yes!!!
In August we will have 17 exams on 17 different subjects !!
😳 Wow. Now I know why you study so much. I finish in August also, but no big exams.
The system of education here needs some change ..
I hope in the future there will be better systems …
But anyway..life is good!

Great shot. Love how you framed it with the water leading you off into the horizon.
Thanks Teri. There were a lot of nice vantage points but this looked the best. Have a great holiday weekend. Cheers
We once visited the marshes in South Carolina’s “low country” and I thought they were beautiful. Great photo!
They are beautiful. I’m glad you had the opportunity to see one. Thank you and Cheers
What a beautiful place!
Beautiful lighting and stunning shot, Chris. The birds would be popular with me to see!! Hope you enjoyed this photo shoot and cycle ride. ~Robin
Thank you, Robin. It was a lot of fun. There are lots of birds for you to see.
