p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · More of a gray day at Nickerson Beach


The bad weather kept most people away leaving me at peace with nature. It was cool and I was laying on the dam and sometimes wet sand yet warm as I was dressed for the conditions. I spotted the osprey in the first photo as I crossed the dunes and I was happy it flew toward me for a moment rather than fishing. The first is hand held, the rest from my very low tripod.

Great stuff Morris. Some really unique shots here. The OOF foreground of birds in #8 is cool. Love the galloping bird in #7 and I always enjoy your shots with the background waves crashing.

#5 is my favorite. You certainly have a connection with Oystercatchers and sanderlings, Morris. And you always deliver on adding some sort of personal connection. Don't know how to explain it, but I can feel the environment and some sort of anthropomorphic statement from these birds. Excellent work, sir. I love your images.

Very well done Morris, and the low angle really helps. 3, 7, and 9 stand out ~ Ron

Thank you Geoff,
The OOF birds in the foreground was driving me nuts as it's usually and was a problem and then I found this framing where it just worked

Thank you Mickey,
The small sanderling with the big wave approaching brings out our inborn desire to protect living things.

Well seen and photographed Morris. There seems to be a special bond developed between you sleeping on your belly on the beach and roaming Oystercatchers and Sanderlings.
