Home again

In a neighbor's yard - these are huge orchids, like the ones you'd find in a corsage.

Followed an osprey all over the neighborhood. Whenever it landed, I stopped and it took off again. Same with a kestrel.

When I got home, this Mockingbird was waiting for me on up in a tree in my driveway.

Pedaled over to Loxahatchee yesterday. This hawk was in a tree real close to where we stopped. We could hear it but couldn't see it. Chris looked up and it flew off before I could get my camera off my bike.
It was quite a distance away.

Trimmed in camera and cropped a tad more at home.

Spotted this fish out of water. I guess it was trying to get away from the two gators near by.
