Back again to the Botanical Gardens

I did another photographic outing to the wonderful North Carolina Botanical Gardens located in Chapel Hill.

The weather has been very crazy. And many cold nights which means the pollinators have been very slow this week indeed.

Todays weather was so beautiful outside, that I decided to take the advantage to photograph the NC Botanical Gardens.

I photographed many different types of creatures including 3 antilles, snapping turtle, a red belly water snake, black snake, a jumping spider, red male cardinal, and a lot of pollinators on flowers. Snapping turtles and black snakes are very common in this area of North Carolina. This was the first time for me photographing a red belly water snake. I have never have seen one before until now in 2016.

Hope everyone is enjoying not having all the pollen around anymore. I know I am happy about that it is gone now. Have a great weekend!

Step into Nature # 10

This a Tri- Colored Heron, Which I photographed at Pickney Wildlife Refuge while I was on vacation way back in Hilton Head. The Tri- Colored Herons a very cool waterfowl to photograph and they have different color variants compared to the Great Blue Herons found in Central North Carolina, where I live. If you have a chance to find TriColor Herons you should photograph them and they are just like the other waterfowl that can be found in central North Carolina . This is a Jellyfish, which I photographed at Myrtle Beach during sunset conditions. The photograph came out really cool. Jelly Fish are very interesting subjects to photograph at local beaches. I decided to use the jelly fish as my subject for this photograph during sunset conditions. This was also taken at Myrtle Beach when i was on vacation in 2019. T...

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.
