Going through old pics trying to find one I can make into a canvas.

Up close and personal with the flamingos.

Did you know? Flamingos eat and drink with their heads upside down. I'll share a video soon.

My best shot from our trip three years ago to North Padre Island in Texas ~ a Great Blue Heron working on flipping a fish to make sure it goes down head first!

Every day needs a bright spot.

Leaf reflections certainly have an artsy look to them.

There used to be a dead tree that hung out over the water near the top of our channel and it was a favorite hang out spot for a Great Blue Heron. Sometimes a Green Heron even joined him. ♥️

The cross was a very pleasant surprise when I looked at the picture the next day!

While at my favorite trail last year I was treated to Sandhill Cranes flyng overhead, yodeling as I like to call it, and enjoying their morning in and around the water. They're usually too far away for a really good capture, but a family was on a nearby scrubby island. I love this mom and dad shot.

Happy Halloween! Enjoy your weekend.

I brought a friend to the park for some holiday shots. 🎃😊

It was a perfect afternoon for kayaking ~ warm weather, calm waters, and with one of my many SILs.

Found the interesting bug earlier in the day and lo and behold, I think it’s the same type of bug on the turtle! Thanks to a friend and her iNaturalist app suggestion I’m pretty sure the insect is a jagged ambush bug. 😊

Though the woodpecker has only a slight blush to its belly, it’s called a red-bellied woodpecker.

And with nonexistent boat traffic, we came across about 20 swans. The pic of the backside of two of the swans makes me think they’re whispering, “It’s the woman with the camera again!”

Yes.

Yes, it is. 🤣
