Planning on shooting landscapes and waterscapes, I left my Canon gear at home. Of course, walking across Wilson Dam, doing my morning constitutional today, I heard squawking which was familiar. Below the dam, on the shoals (landscapes to come later), I noticed a few bumps among the rocks. I had my 75 mm Summilux, and took some landscape shots, and while processing, it became obvious this TVA-owned land is actually best described as "Mardi Gras for GBH's ". This is a small sample; there must have been hundreds.Cormorants, gulls, and a hungry osprey rounded out the viewing, when I wasn't being overflown and buzzed by purple martins, who were most interested in why I was up there walking, it seemed.
Next time, the Canon gear.
