Silver Sands State Park

Went out with the long lens this morning around my local beaches and lucky enough to capture this owl on its successful breakfast hunt.

Yesterday morning I ventured out into my backyard Silver Sands Beach hoping for a image. Sky was kind of empty and sunrise was coming. I looked behind and saw a streak of clouds floating into my composition. They were to low to be under lit but awesome enough to add drama to my image. So greatful!!!
Took a morning walk along the marsh at Silver Sands State Park in Milford Connecticut and I was rewarded with this Coopers Hawk perched on a small dead tree right at golden hour.
