This is just the first set containing images from the Magic looking over the harbor…more to come from the excursion.
The day started overcast with occasional patches of sun shining through the clouds. By the time we headed over for our bike ride, it was a gloriously sunny day.
This little raptor was perched on top of a big mound of crushed rock in the area below the parking lot. She stayed put while a bike rider went past, but eventually decided to head off and I caught her launching into the air.
This shot was one of my first taken with a circular polarizing filter. Looks very surreal in some ways.
