The Cutest face ever

I couldn't help but stop on my bike ride to take this picture of this calf with the sun shining from behind him to me was just beautiful.

Evening Bike ride

Went for an evening bike ride thru Gimini Springs as we do usually every night now to get a little exercise and to do some wildlife shooting and this is one of my favorite spots to sit under the trees and look out over the water, tonight I thought I would experiment with some bracketed shots for an HDR and this is what I got, I think it is time to take a class on HDR, I think I could really have fun with it.

White Egret

This picture was inspired by a picture a friend of mine did and I thought it was just so beautiful.
Thank you Kathy for the inspiration.

Do you see Ma yet?

This is one of the lil ones from this mornings shoot.  Mom and dad both had left the nest to go get breakfast we thought, but didn't bring anything back.  Mean while I am sure dad told them to stay hunkered down while he was gone and of course you always have to have one that doesn't listen, so we all sat terrified that some other raptor would pray on them but dad finally returned with no food but he did return.

Winter Park Osprey Nest

We have been following this little family since day one and happy to say that all 3 babies are doing great. So we got up and headed to the nest early this morning to see how the 3 babies are growing and they are growing fast.  We were a little disappointed that Mom and Dad don't seem to be feeding as often as what we think they should be feeding, (which means no in flight shots of Mom or Dad bringing in breakfast) again today we were there from 7am till 10am and no food, I guess Mom and Dad know what they are doing but us as humans don't agree.

Hi Mom

This baby was born we think Tuesday the 5th of April and mommy sure is a good mommy.
There is another baby but that one must have hatched a little later than this one as it is not as active yet.

This is an only child from the nest in DeBary, as cute as he or she is I'm sure Mom & Dad will really watch over it.

This is the Greenwood Owl. I love the way it blends right in with the tree.

This is a picture of a female Coyote that lives in the Greenwood Cemetary. This photo was taken a few weeks back sorry to say I haven't seen her lately. I have heard that a male has shown up so she may be busy, lol. Keep tuned in for possible cub shots in a few months.
