Lots of pics, my vaca to VA beach

[Dylan8i]

So ive not been shooting much since i finished up my thesis field work, i just needed a break. but ive still been lurking, and went to virginia beach to visit my sister for the 4th (and this week). And i started shooting a bunch, so heres a splathering of shots from the past week... minus the firework shots posted in the viewfinder.

eastern painted turtle, found in sisters backyard


the next batch is from backbay
Osprey (not great pics but a great bird) crops and lightning on these.





other bird shots (im still not a big bird shooter so this is as good as it gets with my crappy lense)







and then the Highlight of the trip for me was one day we where hiking at First landing state park and we found this






its a rough green snake, and the first one i have ever seen.

then the NEXT day while i was at back bay i found this!




a cotton mouth, also the first time i have seen one! unfortunantly it ran away before i could do much with it.

but two new snake species in 2 days! i was pumped.


and that was basically my vacation.

thanks for looking
