Solomon's Island Summer Scenes in August 2022

 We visited Solomon's Island looking for birds, boats and beaches.  We found all three and more.  Here are my favorites.

Piney Point Retake

We went back to Piney Point and St. George Island to look for osprey and enjoy prettier weather than the last recent trip there.

Delta Aquirids Meteor Shower Attempt July 30, 2022

I stayed up late to photograph the Delta Aquirids Meteor Shower and apparently photographed an airplane.  I tried using a flashlight to light up the trees with my new used 2.8 20 mm lens.  I combined two photos that showed the same plane streaking across the sky to make this photo with the Milky Way.  I wasn't quite sure which direction to look in.   Photographed at ISO 2000 for 5 seconds.

Piney Point Day Trip

We wandered around a little on a fairly gray day near Piney Point, MD recently.  We saw lots of birds, water and enjoyed the visit.
