One photographer complained that he had to travel 50 miles to photograph birds and some people find them in their backyard! I am fortunate to live by two ponds, a nature area, and a golf course. Sometimes I see something and go for my camera. Other times I take the camera on a short walk and see what I can find.
Look who we found at our back door, inside the garage, festooned with holiday greenery!
He tucked in for a lift back to the pond
And look who appeared in the driveway to see all the excitement!
Our friend does a good job of scaring the anoles and startling me
The coot enjoys a little swim in the pond
The bald eagle flies over the pond fishing
Black and white peacefully sharing the pond
The sandhill crane is dancing for its partner
Angry Birds: two storks express their displeasure with a heron and me getting too close
The clouds drew me outside and the great snowy egret strutted across the golf course
