Little Surprises

I was just bemoaning the fact that my morning hunt for some good fall color pictures was not too successful as we went for our almost daily bike ride at Illinois Beach State Park. This past summer wasn't so great there for pictures either, not like last year. We stopped at one of our usual points by the lake and my husband spotted two little sandpipers dashing around. They were feverishing looking for something washing up on the beach to eat. These little things must be on their fall migration to the south. I crept up and sat on a dead log on the beach and watched them dart around. I was able to get some nice shots with my 300mm zoom lens.
