Closeup view of the General James Birdseye McPherson statue on the grounds of the McPherson County Courthouse. He is the highest ranking Union officer to die on the battlefield during the Civil War. The city and county of McPherson bear his name. It was dedicated on July 4, 1917 in front of about 40,000 people. A similar statue is located in Washington D.C. within sight of the White House.

I set up a scene for some macro photography and as usual, Cloudy had to get in there to assist. You can count on Cloudy.
Just a closer picture of the Morgan/Cullman County waterfall I found. This creek is a tributary to Hurricane Creek.
I believe this Egret is the same Egret pictured below. The first shot was taken later in the day and it must have made a pretty gruesome kill since the last time I saw it an hour before. It had blood almost dripping off the end of its beak and it started to dry by the time it walked directly at me and stopped right on the side of my truck. This was the second time this guy almost came running towards my truck because it thought it heard a vole.
All of these head shots are from the same Egret, except for the heron I threw in at the end. I have never been able to get this close to an Egret before!
The Blue Iguana or Grand Cayman Iguana (Cyclura lewisi) is a critically endangered species of lizard of the genus Cyclura endemic to the island of Grand Cayman. The Blue Iguana is one of the longest-living species of lizard (possibly up to 69 years). The record is 67 years.
The species' decline is mainly being driven by predation by feral pets (cats and dogs) and indirectly by the destruction of their natural habitat as fruit farms are converted to pasture for cattle grazing. Since 2004, 219 captive-bred animals have been released into a preserve on Grand Cayman in an attempt to save the species.
