Life of the Party
I love US 17. Used to drive it from Sullivans Island north as far as I could go on a day trip. Great scenery. Going south on it to places like Edisto is pretty neat too.
A nice place to get skunked today. 1 faint pull.
The rain can be a PIA but winter in western WA has its perks as well. Chilly but a covered patio and a heat source means you can spend more time outside and less time in front of the TV in the evenings. Even in February. Especially on clear, dry nights like tonight.
did ya just leave him there?

I use a now old Iphone or so messages 
from Verizon suggest. Anyway, i spent time in darkrooms in months of tinkering in the distant past. Here are some I found from the Richfield Wildlife refuge when they let you get out of your car. A car is but an antiquated version of the nature preserves force fields of the future.

Backlit subjects can be a pain with the automatic exposure built in to smartphone cameras.
Even the latest iPhones, and I assume others, aren’t smart enough to do it reliably on their own. It can help to lock the exposure on the sky, adjust the exposure down some, and then recompose and focus on your subject.
Choosing to shoot during the hour surrounding sunset can help, too.
Sometimes, though, that doesn't work. So walk up to your subject so they're the only thing in the photo, make adjustments and lock exposure on them, then step back and recompose for the photo you want.
And hope that someday they bake a spot meter exposure setting into the camera app.

FWIW, my phone, a Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, has spot, as well as matrix and center-weighted metering, under the Expert Raw mode.
I think the S21 series also has spot metering. The S23 series definitely does.

Very cool!
A side channel on my local, a little further downstream than I usually explore. Pretty sure I can wade across the channel 1/2 mile upstream from here, access the island, the main channel, and a big inside gravel bar bend 
. Something for next summer.

Well there were 38 or40 crows then going to get phone… to shoot the group conversation was almost over it was 3 blocks away from the alley
Same area as above. Still smells of creosote even though the tops of the posts are rotted. The top rails looked bigger than railroad ties and were over head height. Short return on one end, just stops after a hundred yards or better. On a high bank above the slack portion of the side channel.
