One last shot from last week’s stormy morning aerial set to wrap this up - this one positioned over the sand spit, looking across the bay toward the heron rookery with exposed mud flats. What a morning!

Quick blast on my susbstack about my two favorite photography podcasts, and why they turn my crank. LensWork and F-Stop couldn’t be more different from each other, but both are soul food for me, and one or the other of them is in my ears on most walks.
