   Just returned from the coast and I've got several things to post.
   This was the view from our campsite in the Ancient Oaks Campground. I really enjoyed the pond. There were so many birds on and around it. There were seagulls, whistling ducks, a redhead drake, a blackduck, blue herons, several varieties of doves, grackles, and lots of others as well. At night the tent was filled with the songs of crickets and frogs. I really was drawn to this thick clump of palms and the strong vertical it presented as a composition.
