Beach photography

I am lucky enough to have friends on the beach; I've been playing a lot with my camera while visiting them. Here are a few of the photos I've taken thus far.

Equanimity on the Cape
Some sort of raptor silhouetted against a setting sun, the beach, and the water. (Not pictured, but backstory: The bird was hovering for quite awhile in a very strong headwind, and then dove onto the beach and caught its prey.)

Cape Cod thunderstorm
A storm was brewing just as the sun was setting, and flocks of seagulls were taking flight towards the darkening clouds. In the background, beach houses are silhouetted against the dunes and the curve of the water.

Canoe in the morning
(Humans count as "nature" too, right?)
A lone canoe makes a ripple in the still, calm water. In the foreground, waves lap against the beach. In the background, a mist forms on the horizon. Taken in the early morning.

Hope you enjoy!

Lovely photos! I particularly like the last one, it has such a wonderful early morning feel.
