Spring at Duke Gardens


I am going to get ahead start of Mr. Walkabout on his blog about my recent photo outing to Duke Gardens yesterday. The weather at the gardens was beautiful in the mid 80's.


This is a yellow lily with a plash of purple flowers in the background.  The gardens were amazingly beautiful this year in the spring.


I photographed many different types of pieces of wildlife and flowers that are located in Sarah P. Duke Gardens along with macro subjects.






This is a great Blue Heron I caught yesterday while he was catching the fish for its meal at the pond. I got serval shots of the sequence of the heron catching and eating its fish it caught.


This was amazing to photograph the sequence of how the Great Blue Heron caught the fish at the pond at the Duke Gardens yesterday.







This a red - crested pochard splashing in the water and grooming its self for the female for the day.


I got a sequence of this Red- Crested Pochard as well.








This is an Eastern Male Towhee that I also photographed at Duke Gardens. But this Eastern Male Towhee had a skin condition on its head, which is rare to see in the wild and photograph it.






We saw 2 different types of frogs as well. This is a Green Frog that I photographed at Duke Gardens .











This  is an American Black Rat Snake. They are harmless to humans . But you can hold them if you are very careful. This Black rat snake was asleep at the time when me and my mentor were taking pictures of the Black Rat Snake.







This was a very successful photo outing at the Duke Gardens with my mentor  this year for spring colors and I hope to return to some more this year to photograph the gardens during the rest of the year and coming up months ahead.


I will be doing a spring color week in May  or a macro week as well in the coming up month for my blog.


Have a great week!

Step into Nature 8

 Welcome back to another adventure in this weeks Step Into Nature on my blog. Let's see what is going on for this post this week on Thursday.  This is a Red Headed Woodpecker, i also photographed at Jordan Lake with the master mind Al D while on a sunrise shot with him. I got several shots of both Female and Male Red Headed woodpeckers on this dead tree along side of the shore of Jordan Lake . We often don't see these  very often in central parts of North Carolina but at the Lakes of Central North Carolina, you can see them and photograph them as well. This is a Carolina Anole, I photographed at the Botanical Gardens with the marvelous walkabout trying to find lots of subjects to photograph there. We photographed many Carolina Anoles, hummingbirds and many other subjects at the Botanical Gardens. Carolina Anolies are very cool to photograph when you find them espicaily at Nc Botanical Gardens in Chapel Hill. This is a baby Cropes Grey Tree Frog which I also photographed at NC B

A another new variant of covid

 There is many new variants of covid but the one we are going to talk about on this post is MU variant of covid virus.  The MU variant of covid was found in Columbia , South America in January 2021. This variant has caused some outbreaks in Europe, south A,Erica and the United States. The vaccines of covid and treatments are less effective in this variant.  By far this one is not spreading as quickly as the original covid variant and Delta variant of covid .  But for most the quickest one of the spread of the covid variant is still the Delta variant . The symptoms are the same as the variants of the covid and delta variant.  So please take extra caution around these variants.
