Clouds and patchy sunlight over a salt marsh at St. Marks NWR

A few days ago Chantal and I were at the St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge as some dark storm clouds passed to our west.  The dark clouds formed a beautiful backdrop to the Cedar Point Trail salt marsh. The sun was low in the sky and illuminated parts of the marsh creating a great photo opportunity.

We were also treated to the sight of several sea squirts shooting impressive streams water into the air.  Perhaps they were warming up for the 4th of July celebration the next day.

The image of the sea squirts was extracted from a video I shot so it is not the same quality as the images from my Pentax DSLR.

I hope you enjoy these images!
