There is an Oak sapling along at the edge of the marsh along the Kennebunk Bridle Path that is always one of the first of the trees to turn. It must be because it has its feet in the water. I am really enjoying the macro abilities of the Tamron 50-400 Di iii VC zoom. This is at 75mm equivalent with the Sony a6700 and my macro modifications to Program mode, program shifted to f18 at 1/8 second for maximum depth of field…and hand held. Processed in Photomator.

Bald Eagle: York County Maine, USA, September 2024 — I made a quick stop along the river on my way to do errands yesterday and found this immature Bald Eagle having breakfast on large fish on the bar on the far side. Still too far away but beggars can’t be choosers and, in fact, I felt blessed to be there at the right time. The crows were, of course, also very interested in the proceedings. While I was watching a fly-fisherman came walking down the stream and put the Eagle off its breakfast. I am sure it came back if the tide did not get to the fish first.
