We camped at Blackwater Creek State Park just before the start of the summer heat. On one of our first hikes, we spotted this abandoned pair of goggles, the bright plastic yellow and blue standing out against the natural color of the surroundings.
While here we visited the coast, and we liked that we could spend the day in the crowds and a short (30 minute or so) drive away we could camp and enjoy peace and quiet in a very nice campsite. We enjoyed several hikes, birding, and nature enjoyment in general. We will be visiting this park again.
I spent a lot of time on this shot. I wanted the light just right and the flower framed. I walked by the next morning and the flower was already gone. Capturing the moment has always been a major strength of photography.
We stopped at the Harold Store the night before we left for some snacks. This small store carries a small but complete selection of nearly any basic item you might need from a convenience/camping/fishing store. The woman who waited on us was wonderfully pleasant, talkative, and we had a nice visit in addition to picking up the items we wanted.
The angle shot was actually on purpose. I wanted to get the whole store in the frame without doing the traditional front on view. I would have liked to have worked this shot more, but late afternoon meant a lot of cars stopping in on their way home, so the time to actually take the shot ended up limited.
