I had a great time recently at Eagle Bluffs Conservation Area with some good friends who I have known through Flickr and a local Facebook photography group, but who I had never actually met. Great to finally meet John Gilbert, Niala Branson and Sharon Tuschhoff. All three are great photographers, and if you aren’t already following them on Flickr, you should immediately follow and comment on John and Niala’s photostreams. Sharon, on the other hand, we have yet to convince to join Flickr. . . but the pressure is on!
I rarely go out with other people to photograph. It’s usually my time to be alone. However, I have to admit it was fun to have these three around. I hope to do it again soon.
Sorry it took so long to post these photos. I took so many that day, it was hard to sift through them all. There are more from that day coming soon.

The American Alligator is one of the success stories of U.S. wildlife conservation. It was hunted nearly to extinction for its skin, which was used to make purses, boots and other leather goods. But in 1967, this species was placed on the endangered species list, which banned hunting these reptiles. Alligators made an amazing comeback. Today, they are no longer endangered, and some states even allow them to be hunted again.
American alligators are highly successful carnivorous predators. They have protection through bony plates called osteoderms, which line their back. Their long bodies, powerful tails, and webbed feet make them powerful, agile and swift in water. Their snouts are upward facing, which allows them to breathe while nearly completely submerged. Their coloration provides ideal camouflage; In passing, they almost look like floating logs!
-- American Alligator 'Did You Know'? --
‧ America alligators are part of the Alligatoridae family, which they share with other alligators and caiman.
‧ They live around freshwater-based habitats in the south and southeastern United States.
‧ The average male grows to about 11 feet (3.4 meters), while some become much longer.
‧ A female typically lays 35 to 50 eggs at one time.
‧ As an alligator's teeth are worn down, they are replaced. An alligator can go through 3,000 teeth in a lifetime.
‧ The sex of an egg is determined by temperature of its nest.
-- Technical Information (or Nerdy Stuff) --

‧ Lens – Nikkor 18-300mm Zoom

The giant panda is a so-called conservation reliant vulnerable species. For many years the panda was considered endangered, but in March 2015, the wild giant panda population increased by 268, or 16.8%, totalling to 1,864 individuals. In 2016, the IUCN reclassified the species from "endangered" to "vulnerable”. That’s good news, but the giant panda population is still far from healthy.
Habitat loss and extremely poor reproductive skills are the main reasons the panda is struggling. A fortune is being spent every year to save the panda, and it’s only because of the incredible cuteness factor of this charismatic animal that the conservation efforts have been succesful.
It was a real joy to watch these funny creatures in real life, and it reminded me of this important piece of oriental wisdom:
Always be yourself.
Unless you can be a panda,
then be a panda.

If you would like to photograph giant pandas yourself, then check out our China’s Endangered Wildlife photo tour: www.squiver.com/tours-workshops/china-wildlife-2017/
Not only will we photograph these über cute animals, we will also photograph the endangered Golden snub-nosed monkeys and Yunnan snub-nosed monkeys in their beautiful forest habitat. These monkeys are incredibly photogenic and funny looking, and this is the first and only tour in the world that offers you this opportunity.
So if you’re done photographing elephants, lions, bears, foxes and eagles, and you’re in for something truly unique, then this will get you the shots very few other people have.

Update:
I messed up that description as noted below, but I'm leaving the original description there so people can appreciate Julie's great sense of humor.
Actually this is at the McHenry County Conservation District and the Boone Creek Conservation Area.

The first law of thermodynamics encompasses several principles, one being that energy can be neither created nor destroyed. However, according to the Law energy can change forms, and energy can flow from one place to another, but still, the total energy of an isolated system remains the same.
It's very important that now, maybe more than ever, that we conserve energy. Please have a lovely weekend.
