Some captures.

Dick on Aruba · January 21, 2007

I hardly have the time these days to press the shutter, but I manage to take a few. Here they are.

I hope you like them. Thanks for looking.

Picture # 1
Of course, I can't get enough of the beautiful egret.

Picture # 2
...and our forever favorite...the GBH!

Picture # 3
Never seen this beautiful bird on Aruba. He was dwelling together with the Pelicans.

Picture # 4
Here another capture.

Picture # 5
Drying himself in the sun.

Picture # 6
This beautiful insect was a bit more than 2 inches long! My dog Smuggy noticed him.

Picture # 7
This toad really thought I did not notice him because of his camouflage colors. Well, I almost passed him.

Picture # 8
My wife found this baby Boa in our yard! I did not agree with the suggestion to kill him.
Instead I eliminated all hiding areas so he can find his home elsewere.

Dick.

Very nice series. You certainly have some exotics down there. Well, they are exotic to me anyway.

Thanks Maestro!

I peeked at you recent postings and found out that it is not easy to keep up with the awesomeness of your captures.

Thanks Dick. I'm trying to improve, but I have a long way to go.

Real nice series!
It's fun to see such exotic life (better than looking in the mirror

). Nice captures! Thanks for sharing.

Great pictures as always.

Of course I am partial to the snake.:D , which is actually a cat-eyed snake.

Ya' ever seen an Aruba Island Rattlesnake?

Great set.

I think that the second one is actually a tri-colored heron.

Great shots
