Welcome to more of my Florida pictures..today's post is mostly more wild birds at the nature park where we went exploring.
What's so nice is that it was completely free and only about 15 minutes from the busy tourist area.
Yet it was quiet and peaceful and we saw no other people around but us.
And the birds were wonderfully cooperative about me and my camera.
My daughter and my husband (her daddy!) were visiting on a bench.
I decided to give them some daughter-father bonding time alone
and
headed down by the water with my camera.
No sooner had I rounded a curve and just LOOK what was there!:
His blue was gorgeous!
And just to my right, were ALSO
these guys!:
I was so excited!
And my daughter and my hubby?
Still gabbing at the nearby bench.
So I went past them, gave them a smile and headed to the left of the little peninsula they were sitting at.
And saw THIS!:
I knew he was splashing and fishing, and I hoped I would catch him getting one.
Did I EVER!
Do you think this is an eel or a snake?:
I don't know WHAT it was, but evidently, there must have been a Whopper Special, because on the shore, this other bird was also snacking on the same thing!:
Mmmm...takes just like chicken....
Here's a blurry closeup of it again:
I loved his black eyebrows!
Ooooo...but THIS guy took my breath away:
And look at this guy's claws.
He looks so peaceful....but LOOK at his claws!:
Another shot of the beautiful blue heron:
And in the middle of the park, these lovely spikey flowers:
A closeup of HIM.
I just wanna reach out and stroke those beautiful blue feathers.
But I controlled myself...
But, I wouldn't mind climbing on HIS back and going for a fly:
How about YOU?
