Green Heron Looking Up
Here’s a not often seen angle of a green heron. I was standing under a tree at the edge of the pond looking around the pond for the heron which, once spotting me and the camera, had just flown away – as was the usual game he played.

Inspiring Hummingbird Named Norm
What’s my inspiration? This is sort of like Muse II. I didn’t do very well discovering an inspirational muse. I’m not going to do well with this one. But the answer is everything and nothing.

My best guess for both is yellow-bellied slider. Although, they’re a bit out of their range here.

Turtle Thursday – Kermit And Turtle – Photography
07/16/2015I was fortunate to find Kermit sitting on a lily pad watching the dragonflies, hoping one would come close enough for dinner, when his friend, Mr. Turtle, decided to pop up and photobomb both.
