Do you remember the tv program aired many years ago [my title for this post - Dark Shadows]...a night time soap opera I believe? Well, good! But, hold your horses! This post has nothing to do with it!!! In reference to dark and shadows...it's just night time photography! Flash photography in the dark, in the wee hours of the morning as I walk a trail in hopes of seeing an owl. Or at least hearing one. [which I didn't see any owls or hear any, by the way. Behind me, on the dark trail, I often heard things go bump in the night tho!!!!] The photo you see in this paragraph is of the Wetlands visitor/learning center and its nighttime reflection on the lily pond near the entrance gate on the property. And below, you'll find some photos of birds on a pond with their eyes reflecting the light of the camera's flash...
Now, walk with me in silence. Listen to the sound of things of mystery! Keep your wits about you, for who knows what evil lurks - the Shadow knows!!! > > >















...By day break, I was finally above ground, on the observation deck at the end of the trail! I took three photos of the gray, gloomy atmosphere of the morning... in succession.... and fused them together on my computer to show the vast area of the scene before me...part of the Bay. Oso Bay....which is about 10 miles west/southwest from the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico
