What Bird is this ?

American Kestrel.

On a quick trip to the wooded swamp,

this bird caught my eye. It flew quickly

to a distant perch. I thought at first it

might a dove because of the way it flew. 

But then it was to big to be a dove. I noticed

the colors, very beautiful. I though it was

way to far away for my camera and lens

I said what the heck why not try. Nothing

ventured nothing gained so I started

snapping off four pictures. The first is

without cropping the second is cropped. 

Small Blue Heron's ?

I was really pleased to

snap this fellows picture.

I think this is a baby "Small

Blue Heron"

These are "Small Blue Herons"

It seems that every one

wanted to get in on this

photo shoot, oooppsss

SHOOT is the wrong word.

Egrets.

I am the light

I have come into the world

as a light, so that no one who

believes in Me should not

stay in darkness.

Sun shine has kissed you.

I will not work today.

I'll fish the live long day.

me with your smile.

Butterfly or Moth.

I Googled these and

looking bird with a voice

squaks like someone is

choking it.

Little Yellow Butterfly

These are so very difficult to

shoot, they always hang

upside down when perched,

they are not still for very long,

and their wings are folded together

when they are feeding.

Coastal Pleasures.

Insects make beautiful subjects for

the camera, as do flowers. Flower

markings are like runway landing

lights for bees, they guide the bees

to the flower's pollen grains.



Butterflies aid in pollination also

but they are not as efficient as

bees. The butterfly's body never

comes in contact with the flower

and usually chooses flat flower's

as a landing spot, so it collects 

only nectar it needs for fuel, and

contact is minimal. 

Canoe Trip

Deffinition of Canoe.
any of various slender, open boats, tapering to a point at both ends, propelled by paddles or sometimes sails and traditionally formed of light framework covered with bark, skins, or canvas, or formed from a dug-out or burned-out log or logs, and now usually made of aluminum, fiberglass, etc.

2. any of various small, primitive light boats. That will flip and
    Wet you from head to toe.

To become a butterfly one must

give up being a Caterpillar.

Wet Land Beauty

I like to sit and watch how

the light and reflections

change. So peaceful.

Small Blue Heron

                             I took these photos this year along

the Jericho dike. It was much cooler.

This is the same area where I hope

 to get shots of the king Fisher bird's.

Careful where you choose to groom

yourself.

You may have an admirer !!
