River Fauna

A continuation of the previous post, and general exhilaration at seeing so many native woodpeckers.  Pictures are the Red Headed (above), and the Red Bellied (further down, and seriously mis-named).

A mother Turtle lays her eggs in our yard.

I'm not really sure what was going on here.  I just happened to have the camera aimed at the right moment.

Further evidence that animals do silly things when you have a camera pointed at them.

A Day in the Garden

 
 

I've been meaning to post these for awhile now.  They are the results of a Mother's Day visit in Jacksonville, FL.  I grew up there, but I forgot just how beautiful and lush it was at the height of Spring.
