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!
