This is not a great bird photo, but for about 30 seconds the morning sun, made orange by the heavy lowcountry humidity, lit up the webs of the grass spiders.

Fittingly this was taken in Orangeburg, South Carolina. BTW - It is an Upland Sandpiper.

One-of-a-kind RH. These birds must be regaining a foothold further south now. Very, very cool shot.

Wow, that's really odd. Must've looked brilliant in real life I imagine.

Ooh, very nice indeed!
Reminds me of a recent shot I took on a Lake Michigan pier, where the sun glint showed on the fishermen's lines. Yours is far more dramatic, however.

I like it! It must have been a sight to see and glad you were there to capture the moment.
