Black & White

My parents were here over the weekend.  We went to the Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge along Maryland's eastern shore.  My dad found out about this place somehow and was really excited about going.  I wasn't as excited, but once we got there, and I got the camera out, my views about being there changed.  The place provided some really cool (and unique) photographic opportunities.  Here are some black and whites I got.  Both birds are blue herons.  I may post some more in color later.  I got pics of bald eagles, red-winged blackbirds, geese, and a couple species of duck as well, but none turned out as well as the herons.

 

Also, I got some decent shots at a local state park on Monday and a couple decent shots out in the snow yesterday, so there will be more pictures on the way.
