for a moment
The weather since I've been down at the shore has not been great.
It's been overcast and cool every morning.
Hasn't made me want to leap out of bed and go for an early morning walk along the beach.......I feel like I'm in a holding pattern, just waiting for the clouds to lift so I can head out with the camera.
We've been getting these small windows of sunshine, here and there though, most afternoons.
Yesterday the sun came out late day, and I took a drive back out to 2 Mile Landing where I'd seen some interesting possibilities the day before.
The lighting was beautiful when I got there, and I spent a very nice 45 minutes snapping away at several different species of birds poking around out in the marsh.
These pretty barn swallows were busy swooping across the mudflats eating flying insects.
I manage to catch this one as it briefly landed on a nearby fence, before taking off again.
Not 5 minutes after I took this shot I felt a noticeable drop in temperture, and when I turned around toward the ocean, there was a very dark fog rolling towards me. Looked like a scene out of that horror flick, "The Mist".
I quickly got in my car and headed for home.
By the time I got there, the fog was so dense you couldn't see to the end of the street.
The weather can change SO quickly on the coast!
