May 4, 2024,Keyhaven Marshes loop from Keyhaven

Making the most of late evening sunsets. Found myself venturing over to Keyhaven marshes this evening. absolutely beautiful area. saw a few deer and ponies grazing around the place. Only issue was the midgies. there were thousands of them. I ate so many I didn't need dinner when I got home. :)
