This White Ibis had finally gotten camera shy and was trying to fly away for some privacy lol I was able to pan it while it was in flight and catch a pretty decent action shot ( I thought : ) )

Watching the last of these days disappear
feeling the air get colder
seeing the world get darker.
Memories of lying on the grass
of the sun warming my closed eyes.
Now, the warmth is gone
the sunshine is gone
the world has turned into something new
something colder, something darker
something different,
something Beautiful.

I was sitting on the ground watching grebes (as I often do), and this guy/girl just strolled up to me. Brazos Bend State Park in SE Texas 10/2015
When I first saw the alligator next to the sign, I thought it was a painted statue to make the sign's point. When I got closer, the gator opened its massive jaws. It was real alright! A 10 year old boy near me was jumping up and down, asking "do you want a piece of me?". Needless to say, I moved to the back side of the alligator. I saw 11 alligators at the park. Very scary looking creatures.

I tried an water/oil painting effect on this shot...just something different, I kinda like the result, please free to let me know what do you think? Thanks for stopping by ...
This little guy/girl was directly below a foot bridge. I shot almost straight down (and didn't drop my camera). A somewhat strange view, but hopefully interesting to some.

Some birds evolved to hunt and fish, some to bore holes in trees for insects and yet others evolved to poke around in the muck.

This is from back in November. I haven't seen a bittern during my last several visits, although others are seeing them on a regular basis. I have little doubt one or more have seen me. Brazos Bend State Park in SE Texas. 11/2017
We went back to the north shore of Elm Lake in Brazos Bend State Park tonight to look for other landscape images. I had another one framed, and we were waiting for these last moments of light on the tripod, when we spotted the moon starting to set.
A quick grab of the tripod and a hike and we found a good shot of the moon by the tree in the last of the light.
One more visit to the Vermillion Flycatcher, and improved my effort. These guys are so tough to get in spectrum, their red color. Fantastic little birds. Pyrocephalus rubinus
I took this photo during the peak of the Geminids meteor shower on December 13th 2015, I stoped by the George Observatory inside Brazos Bend State Park and setup my cameras hoping to catch some meteors.
I captured a few, but this is by far the coolest. This was a fireball that lit up the sky causing the spectators at the observatory to gasp and exclaim excited about being able to see it.
