Time to post some more of my hobby pictures… taking pictures of random nature and wildlife.  Looking through these pictures and pictures from my last Nature Photography seems to indicate I don’t get out much or my life is quite a routine.

 

Our unofficial outdoor pets are the local tree frogs.  This summer and early fall there seemed to be plenty of them, lots more of them then I remember in previous years.  One time there were at least 11 or 13 you could spot on our front porch and railing.

     

   

Sorry Moonshine, I can’t leave you out of the picture or post.

Spiders are often interesting to photograph, along with their webs.  This spider and his web are not that spectacular, but I was asked to take a picture at the time.

While waiting for Austin to run by at a Cross Country meet, I snapped this picture of a flower on the side of a walking path.  The turtle was found (with another turtle that we uh… hum… interrupted something) while walking in a part near Charlotte with the family when visiting Collin at UNC.  The black snake was found in the trough for out pool cover, but it is a good snake so set it free in a different area of our yard.

   

   

This hollowed out tree, in the woods behind our place, has a neat collection of mushrooms growing inside it.

   

And finally… last but not least, a family up the street, has been keeping or raising a turkey in the backyard, under their deck.  But clearly, it is a smart bird because it often finds it’s way outside of it’s enclosure… but not too smart, because it just lingers around the yard.
