Photographing around the Dutch Gap conservation area is full of surprises. There is a large variety of animals and insects all around, and always nearby is the waters of the "lagoon," an old piece of the James River that was separated from the main flow by engineering. By cutting a canal through a peninsula, this separated out a loop of the river into it's own world, though still marginally fed by the James making it's long trip down to the Chesapeake.
