“In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks.”~ John Muir
For Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week, I have a few pics of the amazing creatures I found on my walk in a Florida nature reserve. (Click on any image to enlarge.)
First up is is the undisputed King of the entire outfit sleeping the day away, oblivious to all his subjects who are going about their daily business, and the stares of us visitors to his kingdom.
These large, juicy fish, are very wisely keeping well out of his way.
Two Great Blue Herons sit huddled together, sharing secrets.
Baby Anhingas wait impatiently for their afternoon sushi snack,
and their uncle is drying off his wings after a fishing expedition.
Mr Turtle pops his head out to say “Hi.”
The Common Gallinule practices walking the plank,
whilst the White Ibis community just hang out.
The Boat-tailed Grackle with his glossy black feathers, sparkles in the afternoon sun.
Mrs Spider has created a most impressive web to ensure that her fine dining needs are well catered for.
The Tricolored Heron has a reflective moment as he shares his place in the sun with a couple of pond-weed covered turtles.
It’s just another lazy afternoon for this most handsome of fellows, who just has to be the absolute ultimate in ‘Lounge Lizards’.
I saw so many wonderful creatures in nature as I ambled around the boardwalks, and I also kept a look out for the lion which I’d spied on my last visit. He was still there, although I’m sure most visitors walked over him without noticing his cute face peering up at them.
I hope you enjoyed your nature walk with me. To see more entries for Cee’s Challenge, click on the badge below.
