Hello, Everyone! I hope April has been treating you well. Did you have a great Easter time?
It’s been a fairly busy time for me and it doesn’t look like it’s going to be slowing down any time soon. The economy is not doing well and thus many companies are finding themselves either closing down or reducing employees or their work hours. Any one of these causes great strains on owners, managers and employees. All of this brings my workload up in trying to resolve and find solutions that will benifit all parties involved.
But aside from that we had a quiet Easter time and have been taking in the beauty of the outdoors whenever possible. For me that has been short but DH has captured quiet a few photos of the wildlife and any new plant lives that have popped up. What I miss from working too many hours I view via the photos.
I’ll share with you today 8 wildlife photos he took.
In the park there are many birdhouses set up and this marten has begun nesting in this one.
We have noticed there are a few new species roaming the lakes this year. Aside from some new black swans we have some new loons.
It’s always good to see the big herons have returned.
DH came across quiet a few geese nests but this one he didn’t see until he was just a bit too close. The parents did not like it and began making a fuss.
The red cardinals are singing from the trees and DH was lucky enough to capture this one which kept flying away trying to avoid getting its picture taken.
Unfortunately DH went to one park where dogs are illegally let off their leashes and one of these mutts killed this gopher right in front of him. DH felt so bad for the gopher that he picked it up and put it in this water hole. There was nothing DH could do as the damage was already done. The mutts owner thought nothing of this tragedy, called his dog and took off.
These last two photos are DH pride. Last year he observed the nesting, birth and growth of a family of falcons. This year he chanced upon one of the young ones out hunting.
It was later also under attack from of all things a crow.
It was way up in the air and DH had to zoom in so it’s not the best picture but you can see the action nevertheless.
It’s hard to take up close photos with a dog. Most wildlife flee. This leaves DH zooming in a lot. LOL
I think he just may go out and buy the Canon Rebel package which comes with an extended lenz. I hope he does because he captures some really great scenes and he sure could use a camera that will get a better picture for him.
Well that is it for me tonight. I’ll try my best to get a post in as time allows.
Until then…
