radioactive raccoon

This cute adolescent raccoon awaited a handout in a local grocery store parking lot. A reminder not to use the flash on my camera phone when photographing wildlife.

Fernandina paper mill (one of two on the island). It’s not a Chamber of Commerce view.

The top image was taken with my Fujifilm X-T2 and a 300mm Nikkor-H lens. The bottom photo was shot on my Galaxy S8+.

Contrasts – Industrial Ugly

Amelia Island, Florida. Such natural beauty and then this.
Samsung Galaxy S8+
I purposely shot into the sun to catch the reflections in the tidal mud along the Amelia River.

Looking south along the Amelia River at one of the two paper mills on the island (this one since the late 1930s). The other mill is just north of this location and is not in this image.

Amelia Island is stunning – its natural beauty is diverse, and it is almost hard to imagine how pretty it is. Thirteen miles of sandy Atlantic Coast beaches splashed with warm and generally clean seawater. On the west side of the island is this monstrosity. The mills, for the most part, never stop spewing pollution into the air and, more than likely, into the waters. Here is an interesting article written by one of the island’s original families. https://fernandinaobserver.com/general/rayonier-and-container-in-fernandina-a-brief-history-and-reflection/

Happy SUNday!

White-tailed deer (young buck) visiting my backyard NWF wildlife habitat.
Making his way through the ferns.

I hadn’t seen a deer in my yard in the thirty-plus years that I’ve lived here. Part of my yard is wetlands with a small creeklet running through it and at times some small ponds form after heavy summer thunderstorms. This deer has been spotted around the neighborhood over the past two months – he has a severe injury to his right rear leg and for the most part, he can’t use it. Having said that, he looked healthy and responded to my presence. He doesn’t appear to be sick. There are coyotes in the area so I’m hoping he can stay ahead of the various predators and rut as this is the time of year for that in my part of Florida.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day! – Chris
