Or you could just click the left arrow, though they you'd be missing my
"insightful" commentary...

PJ,
I like Meg's Point trail shot the best.
Girl 'walking' the dog is amusing.
The stacked wood shot's link is missing - goes to Meg's Point.
Sorry the seals were gone.
Regards, Bob S.

Last weekend I went out to see if I could get a few shots of Harbor Seals at
Hammonasset State Park. There were seals all right but my 400mm lens is
only f5.6 and with a tele extender it's a bit slow for the light conditions
I faced, (heavy overcast), so after a few failed attempts I called it a day.
Today it was bright and sunny so I trekked back to the park and, *there*
*were* *no* *seals!* However it was a beautiful day and there were lots of
people so in the vein of live making lemonade when life gives you lemons, I
wish to present.

Page 1. The Jolly Green Giant's pickup stix. Well really a couple of large,
(tree trunk size) pieces of drift wood.

I couldn't decide if I like them better with the human figures for the
exaggerated sense of scale or as a semi abstract so I did both.

The section of beach I was standing on was essentially made of shells...

There were lots of people just taking in the sun, walking their dogs
photographing each other and the scenery, with either smart phones or DSLRs
nothing much in between.

Yes I know, I missed the focus on this one, but I was hurrying the shot, I
thought the content was worth it.

I dragged my Vivitar 400mm f5.6 TX mount lens out looking to shoot pictures
of Harbor Seals and I was going to use it for something

These stacks of wood look like nothing so much to me as being set up as
bonfires, not a smart thing to do in a state park/nature preserve...

So no seals but I hope some interesting and maybe amusing photos.
