This huge snapping turtle was 'adventuring' the backyard the other day.......fortunately for 'lou' she didn't find him..."snappers" will pretty much eat whatever they like, vegetation, small animals, aquatic creatures and I think this guy ate it all....
You just never know what you might see on a walk in the park. On this day I found snapping turtles mating. For some reason, they paid no attention to me at all....

Ahh Snapper, rugged and remote, one of my favourite locations on the coast here, nestled within Munmorah State Recreation Area.
Have a great week out there! Thanks for any comments, always greatly appreciated.

My old fave wild photography location - Snapper Point. So much variety, well to me anyway, in the coastal landscape there. From sandy beaches, rock shelves, cliffs and sea caves. It is located in a State Recreation area, similar to a National Park. Heaven! And no people - bonus!
I hope everyone had a great Christmas :)
Many thanks for every fave and comment, I appreciate them all!

Not been out much recently with the camera but went to Bosham, West Sussex a few weeks ago and captured this sunset looking down the creek towards the church!
Not perfectly still but some reasonable reflected light and colour in the sky!
1/10 second exposure using a Lee 0.9 ND grad filter.
Thanks for any comments you may wish to leave.
Every time we visit this area later in the day, there he is hanging out. At first he would jump back in the water, now he just sits there. I have to watch carefully as this is the spot Jessie loves to play in the water, but so far they ignore each other!!!

Taken while up at Sleeping Bear Dunes in June we saw this Snapping Turtle.
The common snapping turtle (Chelydra serpentina) is native to southeast North America. This reptile belongs to an ancient family (Chelydridae) that evolved in North America around 90 million years ago and has remained little changed since that time. Snapping turtles are omnivores and eat a wide variety of food sources including animals such as birds, frogs, snakes, fish and invertebrates as well as plants. During winter, they hibernate underwater in lakes and ponds buried in sediment in locations that do not freeze.
Contrary to popular belief, snapping turtles are not aggressive and much prefer to avoid confrontation. However, unlike most turtle species, snappers are unable to withdraw their heads fully into their shells for protection and have no choice but to defend themselves from predators and needless provocation by humans.
The photo shows a female snapping turtle searching for a suitable sandy nesting site where she can lay her eggs.
Unfortunately choice sites are often sandy areas by the side of roads or as in the photo on a gravel road in a wilderness area.

Closeup view of this Common Snapping Turtle. The head on this mossy old timer is bigger than my fist .... about the size of a softball.
With a bus break, the emergence of all the phone snappers, including me. On the way to Milford Sound, NZ.

This Snapping Turtle was high along the bank of the Grand River at the Ravines on Sunday morning. Not sure if this was before or after the egg laying.
Saturday's stormy weather brought some unusual catch for one Pacific Gull at the beach in Port Phillip Bay.
(Larus pacificus)
Australasian Snapper
(Chrysophrys auratus)
I was just swimming along, minding my own business, waiting for somebody to forget about theirs, when... WHOA. I saw something I'd never seen before. I thought at first it was a troop of water polo players. But clearly they lacked balls.

A terrible day to shoot surfing, tide in the wrong place and every man and his dog crowding the break, managed a few shots of surfers
One from a very short venture up the moors this afternoon. I knew there wouldn't be much snow hanging around, But after being stuck indoors all day yesterday it was nice to get out in the fresh air. I wasn't out long as I knew the rain would be closing in quite soon and on my way home it absolutely chucked it down!
