Spring is in full swing of things!

 Happy spring everyone. I am on the blog finally after a month after not doing it. I was on vacation for a week at Virginia Beach and then went to my dads for a couple of days.






The past couple of days, I have captured a variety of spring wildlife and flowers that have finally started. The Azaleas  are in full bloom now. 


I have finally have a duck and duckling family at my neighborhood pond this year. Last year, however, the mother and her duck eggs were killed by a coyote. But this year its different, they have survived this year.


This spring, I getting a butt load of photos of the ducks and ducklings . I have also been photographing the Great Blue Heron some.




Today,
 I caught the ducklings and ducks along with this American Snapping Turtle which was cool to photograph after all this damn rain we had these past 2 days .




I am ready for the darn pollen to finally be away so I I can work and plant flowers in my garden. I captured this pollen pod that exploded at my neighborhood pond earlier this week, which was cool to photograph. I did not photograph pollen exploding  pollen pod last spring but now I have this spring.

I am looking forward to capturing more subjects this spring and macro work as well.


I will post on a regular basis this spring. This winter was very slow compared to others. But we only got 1 snow storm this year.

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.
