Marilynne's Wetlands and Other Stuff

Reflections

I think this is the best turtle shot I have ever seen. I love the color

 

[Marilynne]

Thanks Don. Once I counted six or seven on the same dead palm. I have to start looking through my Green Cay photos. Their photo contest ends end month.

Different road, different Osprey.

I think the mockingbird thought the osprey would share

He warned me twice

I never can remember to zoom down in time

Got it, almost

Yesterday we went down a road we haven't been on and came across this abandoned (and for sale) pond and garden nursery.

Inside some of storage areas (I kept waiting for a face to pop out)

I liked the way the hole in the roof reflected on the orange flasher unit.

Where am I??

Marilynne, this a great shot. You have a good eye to spot him! Oh I love the turtles on the log!

 

[Marilynne]

Thank you Ambient. I was walking by when some tourists pointed out the moving plants. Waited about 5 minutes and left. Walked a bit, looked back and saw them pointing. Another man that was also waiting while I was there, walked past me and said something was stretching its head up. Back I went.

When I got to Green Cay, I overheard three different groups of folks talking about the turtles. I knew exactly where they were. They like that dead palm. There's usually an Anhinga drying off on the top, but wasn't there that day.

This guy was walking in front of me

Couldn't resist and he was happy to oblige

[Marilynne]

Thanks Pat. The stump and chair were at the abandoned nursery. Chris didn't want to walk around it, but it was for sale, so I went for it.
