Coot and quiet--two words that don't seem to go together. Because they are relatively heavy birds, they splash a lot on takeoff from or landing in water. That often causes a commotion by other coots when landing near a raft of them.
American Coots were very abundant at Merritt Island and at Orlando Wetlands on the East Coast of Florida.
Two totally different artistic impressions of the SEA IMP tugboats.
Two different tugs on two separate dates,
The previous tugboat appears to be owned or operated by the same fleet owner, hence the name similarities.

On occasion, gators emerge in waters to where their head and body shows through the water. This is one of the few occasions where the gator being close to the surface through this murky water, appears somewhat ghostly.
He is a juvenile gator and may be learning the way of the water. He was in the shallow areas of the swamps. The Juveniles biggest predators is large gators as they are known to eat their young. I was almost few feet away from him but safe being on a board walk over looking the swamps. Even with my photo taken, he did not bother to move.
Hyams Beach, Jervis Bay, New South Wales, Australia in the rain. The usually beautifully clear blue-green water was very murky containing small bits of seaweed and other debris. Taken during a major storm event affecting parts of the New South Wales coast with strong winds and heavy rain.
The ship in the distance is the Australian naval vessel HMAS Canberra. She has not been commissioned yet and is undergoing sea trials, sheltering in Jervis Bay to avoid bad weather. She is an amphibious assault ship also known as a landing helicopter dock and is the biggest ship ever built for Australia's navy at 231m (757ft) in length.

Beautiful sim, dark and dangerous in theme. Trying out new techniques in photography editors. Hope you like.
I've always wanted to shoot some fall color by a stream or a waterfall and had no idea this place was so close to home.. Needless to say, I headed there as soon as the leaves started to change color.
For this one, I had to set up the tripod in the water and yes, I fell down a couple of times, but fortunately my camera and the lens stayed above water at all times..
Warmed up the tones just a bit to bring out the colors. Since it was fairly dark, the long exposure wasn't much of a problem.
Thanks for your visit and comments. And yes, keep your constructive criticism coming.
Have a nice day
The color of the water would have been emerald green if it were not for the rains during the past three days. I wished I brought my tripod and ND filter.
It was a 97 concrete steps leading down towards the deep gorge where the falls are located.

We recently visited our nearby arboretum for a change of scenery. It was a fine, sunny spring afternoon, but that sun heated things up making it feel more like summer than spring.
One of the first things we saw upon our arrival was turtles sunning everywhere. On the banks of the lake and stream that runs into it, and of course they were lining up on the log, seen above, that spans the edge of the lake where the stream meets it. Grabbed this shot while crossing the footbridge to get to the (shaded) sitting area.
The water was horribly murky, lots of pollen and debris floating on top of the water, and there were so many turtles swimming about, they were probably stirring up the mud on the bottom, making things worse.
I was surprised to see the Assiniboine looking better than I had expected, flooding wise. You can certainly see the water has risen up on it's banks here, but overall most of it is still well contained from what I saw up on the 9th floor balcony at my mom's. I imagine our biggest problem lies in the rising waters of the Red River.
I liked the shadows intermingling with the reflections in this shot.
Pretty little turtle swimming below me. The younger ones are brightly colored. This one has beautiful eyes too.

I'm used to cute small eastern musk turtles. This one was larger and looked a bit chunky. Possibly the water refraction but sure looks like she has a healthy appetite.

Safe fish passage culvert. Had fun taking photos of three interesting culverts I passed while bike riding.
North Pole, Alaska.
I was walking along the creek bank when I spotted this young river cooter. She swam closer and poked her head up to get a look at me. Right after this shot she went underwater again and swam to the opposite bank to hide under a log.

I tossed a handful of critter food into the water to see if any turtles would show up. Instead this GIANT catfish and some others, maybe carp suddenly surfaced - and creeped me out Big Time!
It was so horrible I had to throw in a few more handfuls of that critter food to get them to surface again to try and get a few shots.
They beckoned to us with their siren voices from the mucky, pollen infested lake water and before I knew it I'd spent a couple of bucks worth tossing handful after handful of critter food to them.
Low water levels and clear skies with no wind let me find musk turtles under the surface of the water. This older cutie was walking on top of the silt going about important turtle business.

Cooters are omnivores. They concentrate on vegetation but will go for any kind of meal that comes their way including doing clean up duty for nature. This one was going after a dead raccoon.

I was walking the banks of a little creek when this catfish surfaced in the murky water. Startled me, had not seen a fish that big in this small creek. It was only there a second then sank out of sight so this was the best shot I got of it.
