Just back from a Photo Meet-up at Presquile National Wildlife Refuge which is about an hour from our home.  The only way to reach the Refuge is by boat so our organizer arranged to have a pontoon boat shuttle us over and also tour the waterway surrounding the refuge.It was a cool, crisp fall morning that quickly became very hot and humid after about 10 am as so with the the dew was so heavy my shoes and socks were soaked through to almost the knees before we finished.  Lucky for us we had the first hour on the refuge and the last hour on the pontoon boat. The refuge was not as overgrown as I thought it would be, and very few bugs were visible (yea no mosquito bites for once).  I was a bit disappointed that we didn't see much wildlife on the island or the waterfronts but I still had a great time and would certainly return again. Below are a few of my favorite photos from the day (as always, click for a larger look).
