Marilynne, I eventually was able to get out of the car without it flying off and I took this shot.

I have been trying to get a picture of this gator for about three years and it has always been in the water with just his head showing. I spotted him today on the grass and ran down to get a shot and I had time enough for one shot and then he jumped into the water.

Your photos never cease to amaze me. I know you use a 70-200 with a teleconverter, but how close were you?

Probably about 20ft away. Thanks very much for your kind words.

I was thinking it would be an encounter of another more friendly type.

Another Blue Heron taken in a totally different location. Shot from my car with a D600 and 70-300VR lens.

Some of you may know that I don't live far from the Mississippi Gulf Coast Gator Farm where the gator boys filmed their TV show and hung out last year. I managed to meet them and talk with Paul and Jimmy on several occasions. These are pictures of the Gator Farm they were at. This was taken today May 4th 2013 after the bad rains that we have been having. You should NOT BE SEEING any water in any of the images that I am posting. The area to the right inside the privacy fence in the second photo is where the gator wrestling was filmed.

It looks like an an adventure tour to me. I think it would be very interesing to join a boot tour.

My wife and I went for a ride today in my car when I spotted this Blue Jay across the street, so I took a quick shot of it. Taken with D600 with 70-300VR lens.

I was out shooting some boat races and took a few snapshots of the seagulls flying in the area. Here are 5 of the seagull photos. Shot with D600 with 70-200VR lens.

3 and 5 are my favorites!

Any time I am out and there are birds like that flying around I always try to get some shots just for practice so when something I really want comes along I have a better chance of getting the picture. Thanks for taking a look. I will probably post some boat pictures a little later.

 

[RockyNH_RIP]

Excellent... so clear!! I was gonna ask where the boat pictures are!!

Pat in NH
