Step into Nature 7

Welcome back to another step into Nature on my blog. Let's dive right into this weeks Step Into Nature.

This is a Great Egret, I photographed during sunrise conditions with my mentor walkabout at Jordan Lake.

I decided to make a silhouette against the colors of the sunrise conditions with the Great Egret in front of the reflection of the sunlight on the water at Jordan Lake.

This is a crab spider , I photographed on my butterfly bush, that I planted a few month back in the spring. I have had many photographic opportunities to get many insect and butterflies and hummingbirds as well.

This common pond slider was taken at my neighborhood pond at the beginning of September . This turtle was warming its self with the sun on the bank and I got many pictures of that as well.

This is a Garden Spider, I photographed with walkabout at Gold Park in Hillsbrough. Garden Spiders are very cool to photograph in this area of central of North Carolina.

This a Osprey, I also photographed at Jordan Lake with my mysterious mentor walkabout during sunrise conditions that morning.

Ospreys are fish hunters just like Great Egrets, Great Blue Herons and Bald Eagles as well.

Just a little snow

Hey hey it Al back with a snow pictures from earlier today which I used My iPhone XR for these photographs of the snow , since I did not use my camera for these shots. We were supposed to get 1-3 inches of snow accumulation in this area but we only ended up with a dusting of snow. Some schools in the area of central North Carolina either did remote learning, delayed openings or closed for the day which one school system , did which was Chapel Hill Carrboro City schools. Even though, this was the only snow storm that Some snow stuck to the ground some did not stick to the ground due to the rain before that. In this shot, I did with the snow I used the snow as foreground element and used the remaining of the background to be blurred out to make an interesting photograph that came out really cool for this shot. I hope we might get another snow storm in February this year that might produce more snow and I can take even more pictures of it if is possible to happen this year in North C...
