If you take the road to Hardeeville from Savannah to Hilton Head Island, there is a turn off that lets you do a short loop through part of the Savannah Wildlife Refuge. Armed with my new camera and lens and firmly set on "Auto", I decided to explore.

The attached set gives you an idea of the beauty just off the road.

Great set, Mike. "Auto" certainly worked for that venture.

Mike, thank you sharing these great photos. I have been through the Savannah National Wildlife Refuge several times through the years. It is a beautiful place to visit. Thank you for bringing back some great memories of my travels in Georgia and South Carolina over the years. Happy New Year.

Interesting set Mike with your then new camera - #3 is an interesting shot and I really love the colors and saturation you got on #4!

Thanks, Joe. I must admit that "Auto" did the initial work and then I waded in with Lightroom.
