I See You

Saw this squirrel run into the hole and waited to see if he would come out.

This was the second photograph of this Heron I took that morning. The first was with the sunlight in front, but I this one with the sunlight from behind better. I was surprised at how close he let us get to him.

Gull at Hilton Head SC

**Nikon D7500, Sigma 100-400mm @370mm, 1/200 sec., f/6.3, ISO 500**

Went to Hilton Head a few weeks ago and was able to get some photography done. Took this on one of our walks on the beach. I was hoping to capture some close-ups of the gulls and other wildlife that evening.

One Leg

**Nikon D7500, Sigma 100-400mm @400mm, 1/1600 sec., f/6.3, ISO 500**

Took this photograph just before Christmas. It wasn’t until I was editing it that I noticed he was standing on one leg. Not sure if he is missing the other leg or if he just was standing on one. Since I’ve seen and photographed him before I checked some of the earlier photographs and he was only on one leg then also. I think he is missing a leg.

Its Been A While

**Nikon D7500, Sigma 100.00-400.00mm @400mm, 1/320 sec., f/6.3, ISO 250**

It’s been a while since I posted, summer is not my favorite time to take photographs. But I did get a few birds that visit the feeders and bird bath in my yard. One of the better ones that I got.

Swamp

**Nikon D7500, Nikon 18.0-140.0mm @18mm, 1/80 sec., f/4.5, ISO** **400**

Yes, it has been a while since I posted and I am finally getting around to looking at some photographs I recently took. The one above is a pond/swamp in Fort Clinch State Park on Amelia Island in Florida. This was taken while we were hiking the Willow Pond Nature Trail. Although we didn’t see any alligators here, we did see one later as we got closer to the end. At first, it looked like a log, but looking closer, it was an alligator.
