A new visitor at the Pond

I went outside today to my neighborhood pond to see what I could photograph ahead of this tremendous Hurricane that is coming our way on September 12.

Todays weather felt like it was fall already.. Its hard to believe fall weather is coming already in North Carolina ahead of this hurricane.

Today it was in the sixties earlier today and it went into the 70s todays. I think fall weather has already come through ahead of the hurricane .

I looked around and spotted a Great Egret , who portably made its way here from Florida to escape the hurricane that is approaching soon.

Great Egrets are usually found on the coast not in neighborhood ponds, but this a rare thing to find them in neighborhood ponds.

I kept getting photographs of the Great Egret in my neighborhood pond including the flight he took that he landed at the pond and continued taking photographs of the Great Egret.

Step into Nature # 10

Welcome back to another post on my blog for this weeks Step into Nature. Let's see what adventures of the post we are going to do for this weeks Step into Nature. This a Tri- Colored Heron, Which I photographed at Pickney Wildlife Refuge while I was on vacation way back in Hilton Head. The Tri- Colored Herons a very cool waterfowl to photograph and they have different color variants compared to the Great Blue Herons found in Central North Carolina, where I live. If you have a chance to find TriColor Herons you should photograph them and they are just like the other waterfowl that can be found in central North Carolina . This is a Jellyfish, which I photographed at Myrtle Beach during sunset conditions. The photograph came out really cool. Jelly Fish are very interesting subjects to photograph at local beaches. I decided to use the jelly fish as my subject for this photograph during sunset conditions. This was also taken at Myrtle Beach when i was on vacation in 2019. T...
