Marilynne's Wetlands and Other Stuff

From Tuesday's bike ride using the D7100 with the 55-300mm lens (early morning sunlight)

Never saw any birds here. Don't think it's a bird house and if it's a feeder, the owner never puts anything in it.

Very nice shots, Marilynne. I love the Bird of Paradise plant . . . tried to grow one here but never had any luck. Not enough humidity, I guess. That, and my lacking a "green thumb"

Thanks Helene. I leave the growing to some one else. I can grow basil and that's about it. I keep trying and they keep dying.

Love those vultures!

Thanks Barb. I was amazed how close I could get to the vulture. One flew off but this one stood his ground.

Maybe he was afraid you were going to go for his meal.

I have no idea what it was. I do like my beef on the rare side, but I think this was a little raw for me.

My husband spotted this on the wall to the men's room at Wako.

This should go in the "almost" shots. I had the 55-300mm lens on, I was using M and couldn't back up enough. Posted just to show size.

And probably pretty well-aged.
