Green Cay Wetlands

Wow... am I busy these days; I nearly forgot about my weekly blog. I did actually get out and shoot this week as the PBC Photo Walkers met last night at John D. MacArthur Park. I haven't had time to process too many shots so I'll save that blog post until a future date.

I do have quite a few nice shots that I have taken at Green Cay Wetlands, in Boynton Beach, so I will make this quick and post some of my favorites.

Green Cay is one of my favorite places to be. It's basically 1.5 miles of elevated boardwalk through wetlands that are just full of birds and other wildlife. Once again, my friend Julianne first introduced me to this place (I miss you Julianne! It's been too long...) and her & I have gone together a few times (and we're due for another trip soon after tax season is over). Here she is posing for me...

Green Cay also has a beautiful nature center that is perfect for families and other groups. If you have young children and haven't been there, I highly recommend it (well, I recommend it even if you don't have young children).

It's really a beautiful place to go to take pictures or to just walk around.

I think it's pretty easy to see why they named it Green Cay.

Just like Wakodahatchee, the stars of this location are the birds.

My very favorite shot, and maybe my 2nd favorite bird shot of all time (last week's post was my 1st), is not my typical kind of shot. In fact, when I went out that morning with Julianne, I was initially upset that it was all foggy outside; my sunrise pictures were ruined! However, I ended up getting some really unique shots and this one remains my highest scoring challenge entry so far on DPC (6.8433) and will be my Palm Beach County photo of the week on DPC.
