52 Photographs - Week 35

The end of August can only mean that fall is around the corner. And to celebrate my favorite season, here’s a sample of what’s to come.

52 Photographs - Week 34

Another surprise this week. The heron was back at Manchester Meadows Park and as I was walking around to get a different angle on it, I saw this Green Heron. These are very elusive birds and I’ve only seen them twice before, once at this park and once at Nygren Wetlands. I was able to get a few photographs before it took off.

52 Photographs - Week 33

Well, this was an unexpected subject. Late last year during my early morning walks at Manchester Meadows Park I would see a heron hanging around the pond. I got a great many photographs of the heron and was sad when it stopped coming.

Yesterday the heron was back and as I was photographing it, an egret flew in. Was I surprised. I had never expected that an egret would be hanging around that location. So here’s one of the photographs of the egret. I hope it continues to come back.

52 Photographs - Week 32

Well, I had this week’s photograph all ready to go and ended up changing my mind. You can see it on my Flickr page HERE  if you’d like.

Several days later a Cardinal showed up for breakfast. Now they usually do not hang around and if they sense any movement they disappear very quickly. But the Cardinal got comfortable in a good location for a photograph. I was able to get several images. This was the first and I think the best.

52 Photographs - Week 31

This week’s photograph is from the parking lot at the local Publix grocery store. Walking back to the car after shopping, I noticed this oil slick and mask. All I had with me was my iPhone so this might possibly be the only iPhone photograph in this collection.
