Hampton's premier park is a 456 acre environmental education and wildlife management facility. Born from borrow pits and garbage dumps, the park is truly a success story of reclamation of our natural resources. From the 10,000 square foot nature center overlooking Sandy Bottom Lake to the elusive creatures that inhabit the wetland marshes, there is something for everyone at the Sandy Bottom Nature Park.
Below are just a few examples of a recent trip to Sandy Bottom:

Last weekend, August 8-10 2008, was the 82nd annual Hampton Cup Regatta on Mill Creek at historic Fort Monroe, Phoebus Va. The weekend features a car show, plenty of speed, vendors and a "Bash on the Bridge" overlooking Mill creek and the races. There were several classes of watercraft competing and is a fun filled family weekend.

While on a photography excursion to the quaint waterfront section of Hampton, known as Phoebus, I came across and shot a Heron I haven't seen in this area as often as I see the abundant Blue Herons and Great Egrets. The Heron I shot was a Yellow-crowned night heron, below is a juvenile bird:

I also shot this adult bird across Mill Creek in a tree:

One of the great things about living in the Hampton Roads area is the abundant wildlife and beautiful scenery.
