Killing Time

Harryb

Hi you'll,

Being unemployed I find myself having a bit of time to kill every once in awhile. So I drive on down to the wetlands and its a little bit of paradise. I'm usually the only person there, just me, the birds, a few million mosquitoes and a few gators.



a juvenile Little Blue Heron



Snowy Egret hunting





Cattle Egret



there's always some raptor hanging around

That cattle egret shot is beautiful.

Nice shots, Harry. Glad to see you were just killing time....and not those birds. :uhoh

Do you need me to send you some extra saturation? Them blues are looking a bit pale towards the end. Did that Nikon run out of ink?

Thanks Jeff. That raptor was on a tree but not THE TREE. We try to have some variety you know.

Hey Mike,

Thanks and not to worry about the saturation. You should know that our Florida water is a deep blue and our skies are a light blue. We gotta get you our on that boat some more.

Nice, Harry, very nice!

I shot this AM at magnolia, different area. So tired and sore.

Am going to upload. There were Bifs, I just don't think I got any. Trees throw me off. I get my bif in areas w/o lots of folliage. I could teach Trish, I am too tired to type. You got good shots there for an old retired man with not much to do now, hahahaha.

I paid up my next year's annual pass to Magnolia. If nothing else those babies are worth it. Right now I could live w/o it, but it is very nice (would like to go back just for how they are getting butterflys: naturally).

Thanks Ginger,

I'm pretty tired and sore too. I spent all yesterday shooting and then I went to the local peace march. I'm running out the door now to spend the rest of today shooting as I have some visiting shooters in town.

Good move with the pass to Magnolia you have gotten some prime shots there.
