Memorial Day

I adore this site and am deciding to jump in and give it a whirl!  I am just now getting a chance to go through my pictures from my adventures on Memorial Day.  

I woke up early and was swept away to a beautiful, virtually untouched, beach.  Popup LinkSeagrass Tucked away in Milford, Connecticut I found Silver Sands State Park.  I spent the better part of the day walking the beach, gathering shells, pretty rocks and sun rays.  And trying not to step on the dozens of horseshoe crabs Popup LinkHorseshoe Crab that were dealing with a heavy dose of spring fever.  If you get my drift.  Pun intended.  

From there the next stop was Connecticut Audubon Coastal Center where I was treated to flowers, great egrets, Popup LinkEgret osprey, cardinals, even more rustic shoreline and swans! Popup LinkSwans Yes, while I was walking the shore I turned around to head back and 22 (I counted them) swans had flown in and landed in the ocean that I had just strolled by.  Nature at it's best!

Happy June!

    Seagrass has a very nice perspective and I love the swans shot - they look so elegant.

    Welcome to the site! Looks like you had a full weekend! Neat shots.....I like the egret shot, but, I think I would've cropped it a little closer, but, that's just me....I like close ups.....
