I had the close-up filter on my Sigma 70-300 and focusing was a PIA. Took it off for the later shots.

 

I must say, this lens redeemed itself to me today.

Brazos Bend State Park on Elm Lake

Brazos Bend State Park, Texas

Spring 2014

American alligator. Brazos Bend State Park.

This glossy ibis is in his winter outfit, making him harder to identify from his cousin, the white-faced ibis.

Drying and warming.

Went to Brazosbend and walked a few miles, ran into this guy toward the end of the trail. It was either pass him or walk miles back the other way! As you can see, I took my chances!

Leo's first time camping in the tent.

Ah, the winter months, when these trees are NOT filled with orb spiders.

Anhinga anhinga July 29,2011

up to 3.5 feet wing span & 35" high.

The brown neck designates female.

They can maneuver under water & wings get waterlogged so they need to dry them later.With the head & some of the neck above water they appear to be a snake.
