Battling the Elements

The night before we had a thunderstorm come through the area before all this crazy weather came in the next day. Yesterday Morning we had snow then flurries then more rain and then it went to sunny conditions , which is very rare after all these types of weather conditions.

I took advantage from the breaks in the rain to get outside and take dew droplet pictures on different plants and grasses around my neighborhood pond.

This spring so far has been very crazy for weather conditions and such as a nature photographer.

I started searching around the water edges around the pond to see if the American Duck had made a nest this year. She had made it in a different location near the end of the dam this year and she was well camouflaged this year compared to other years.

I have recently found the American Duck on her nest this year on her eggs and hoping to catch some pictures of the ducklings hatching this year which would be very cool to photograph.

This a Tri- Colored Heron, Which I photographed at Pickney Wildlife Refuge while I was on vacation way back in Hilton Head.
