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.

Turtle Behaviors Already!!

As you can see from the photos below, I was able to capture turtle behavior. These pond sliders were very use to people around Anderson Park. As you can see the turtles were fighting to sun on the same rock. They made quite the pair together to photograph. This was a very fun day to watch animal behavior in the wild. As you can see the turtles cooperated together and made peace to each other to sun together on this rock.
