Get out and take pictures. Share! Rules: See above That's it. This isn't a contest. All photos taken this week are welcome (not just cruising). Prizes will not be awarded. Discovering the joy of photography is the prize. The idea is to get folks out using their cameras for more than vacations and toddler birthdays. Post one. Post many. Up to you. Have fun with your camera and share your fun with others! Edited August 23, 2021 by pierces Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare pierces Posted August 30, 2021 Author #6 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Hailee XIX. The title refers to our Wonderful Granddaughter's 19th birthday that we celebrated this week, not her place in a line of royal heirs or her identification number in a sequence of beautiful but deadly clones destined for world domination. Ok. That last part was what popped into my head when I came up with the title. Probably the same thing that popped into everybody's head, right? No? Hmmm... Anyway, a chance to showcase our family is always a good thing but that’s not the main reason I have had so many opportunities to do so this year. This has been the year (and a half) of pandemic DIY projects that has now migrated from the back yard to the front porch leaving no time for fun photo projects. Thanks for the Picture-A Week save, Hailee! Happy XIXth Birthday! Hailee XIX Dave 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zackiedawg Posted August 30, 2021 #7 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Though the heat and humidity are still awful, and will continue that way well into November, at least the selection and diversity in the wetlands is improving, as we start to transition closer to fall and some wintering or migrating birds are starting to show up. Saturday's excursion to the wetlands had some nice mixes of critters: White peacock butterfly closeup: Golden-winged skimmer dragonfly, head-on: Roseate spoonbill: A pied-billed grebe chick, up close: The beautiful yellow-throated warbler has returned for winter: Yes, green iguanas can swim! An impossibly small baby cooter turtle, just a hair bigger than a quarter: On the other end of the spectrum, George the alligator, the biggest, oldest gator in the wetlands: An osprey, high up on a lookout post - ready to use those nasty talons to snatch an unwary fish: 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
