Extra long exposure capturing the moments there as the day was ending in Middle River.

The smooth helmeted iguana is named for the prominent casque, or crest on the back of its head and neck which has the appearance of a helmet.

My blog

After a long day working ... noticed that after two days of 50 MPH and then 30 MPH winds and sunny days, that clouds rolled in as the day was nearing an end and the winds died down to nothing.

Checked the radar and the passing front left behind a band of clouds over the Baltimore region ... and it was slowly dissipating.

I called my Dad about 40 minutes before sunset and asked if the river was smoothed out. He said it was nearly a mirror.

So I grabbed the camera gear and made a quick trip down to Middle River to see if Election Night would have some fireworks.

The conditions were great with the two days of strong winds out of the northwest resulted in a real low tide, so was able to get under some of the piers.

Here just as the sun set, the colors were golden and just beginning. The fireworks followed for about 20 minutes or more, so I ended up taking 75 captures from all kinds of perspectives given the reflections, clouds and low tide conditions.

With little noise the stream travels through the woods bringing life’s riches from one place to another. Fish, frogs and other water dwellers travel within the stream providing food for others. Listen closely to hear the quiet noises when “Smoothly Water Runs” Thanks for viewing my work. Stay safe. Be kind to everyone and smile.
