Some cools shots from the last week in May 2008 |
Some geese at the swamp pond ... manual focus through the trees ... color and composition caught my eye ...
Further into the swamp ... I spot this very large snapping turtle out on a mound ..
No choice but to wade in thru the black muck choked swamp to get an angle on him that would provide a good picture ... The black muck sucked the sandals off my feet ... I lost the sandals , but at least I got the shot !!
Check out the paws and claws on him !! ..
One last frame from the front before he dove for cover ...
Later I bump into a hawk and two turkey vultures ... close to the spot I got shots awhile ago ... maybe they travel together and have this routine down pat !
As I get closer for a shot , the hawk spooks and flys into the tree over my right shoulder ... he switches postion on the branch and watches the vultures ... he must have had his fill !
I walk closer to get a picture of the vultures close up , but they walk away ... I sit and wait approx 8 feet way and eventually one vulture walks in and takes over the carcass ...
As I walk around the pond I get a quick frame of a red wing black bird taking advantage of some old barbed wire in the grass for a perch !
Some cool frames ... going into the last week of May 2008
