Yesterday, spotted the Warrior pulled up on the flats of St. Helena Island, SC. I took a quick series of photos and intend to return and do a more extensive study. It is always sad to see the end of these classic commercial fishing boats!

Charlie No. 1, Key West, Slide Show

This is the first slide show I have produced with Adobe Lightroom converted to a video.
The Cobia at Brunswick, GA
