After capturing the moody fog and view looking east over Stansbury Creek (See Below in the Comments), I arrived down at my dad's house and we looked out over the river discussing how colorful the sunset could be. I also noticed that the low fog band was out over this part of Middle River. So I headed out to the end of the neighbor's long pier placing me out farther in the river. From here I focused in looking westward towards the glowing sunlight sneaking in to the cloudy scene. This band of light is what held the potential for the colorful sunset once the sun reached the horizon. At this time this was about 30 minutes before sunset.
Used the 9 Stop ND filter here to get the 30 second exposure smoothing out the reflection. The river was close to a mirror, but the slightest breeze was causing small ripples across its surface.
After this capture, I then added a 4 Stop ND filter that I just got for Christmas (ICE Brand). The filter cost around $20. Was skeptical at that low price, but I told Ms. Krach to buy it for me if she wanted to ... and she did. I needed to replace one of my Hoya 4 Stops that was around 2 years old and had some scratches. That filter had been through a lot of use. When I researched the Hoya 4 Stop must have been in high demand as the cost was over $100.
I will post that capture soon and my thoughts on the ICE Brand filters for those that are interested. That capture was for several minutes with the clouds and fog streaming along in the scene.

Spent a chilly morning laying in the reeds waiting for the fog to lift & a large flock of Banded Stilts to thaw out & begin feeding. It proved a little tricky to get the separation I was looking for until the flock began to disperse across the large lake.
A female Myzinum obscurum from Nacogdoches County, Texas.
These striking wasps parasitize soil dwelling beetle larvae, especially those of scarabs and tiger beetles. The females lay a single egg on the grub. Once it hatches her larvae penetrate their host and begins feeding on non-essential tissues. By doing so, the host stays alive as long as possible prior to having its internal organs consumed just before the larval wasps pupate.

The banded mongoose (Mungos mungo) is a mongoose commonly found in the central and eastern parts of Africa. It lives in savannas, open forests and grasslands and feeds primarily on beetles and millipedes. Mongooses use various types of dens for shelter including termite mounds. While most mongoose species live solitary lives, the banded mongoose live in colonies with a complex social structure.
Calopteryx splendens.
Male and female are variable in color and pattern. The male has translucent wings which each have a broad, dark iridescent blue-black spot (or band) across the outer part. On immature dragonflies the spot is dark brown. The body can be a metallic blue or bluish green or a combination of both colours, depending on the time of year and location.
Under the same log as the purple ground beetle was this lovely centipede, and unusually it didn't move at all.

A band is a musical ensemble, a group of two or more musicians who perform instrumental or vocal music.
A, Praise Band, refers to a group of musicians who play contemporary worship music, usually at a church during services. This shot was taken at a Methodist men's retreat. The rest of the band is to camera left, out of view. Only one word of the song they were playing is captured from the screen it was projected on.
not something I would do LOL
