Today, our little group took a photo walk along the Augusta Riverwalk, which follows the Savannah River from the 5th Street Bridge to the 13th Street Bridge in Augusta, Georgia. Across the river is the city of North Augusta, South Carolina.
Shortly after we arrived, a small 3 or 4 foot alligator decided to venture from the Georgia shore line to a point almost ten feet from the center of the river. There, they rested on some floating vegetation, waiting on a fish or other small river creature to pass by. I didn’t have the proper lens to photograph the gator — I was using my 18 – 55 mm lens to capture the river — so I enjoyed watching instead.
The light was so beautiful and soft. Clouds reflected light yellows, pastel pinks, and pale peaches from the rising sun. A few walkers and joggers joined us on the riverwalk. All in all, it was a beautiful morning for a photography meander.
