Rare pierces Posted October 31, 2022 #1 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Pictures taken between Monday, October 31 and Sunday, November 6. Halloween can be a very photogenic day. Just sayin'.... 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!

Rare pierces Posted November 7, 2022 Author #2 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Actually, Trick-or-Treat photography. Monday evening found us in Daughter Kassi’s neighborhood, walking along as Matthew and Jackie ran from house to house gathering large amounts of candy while their father stayed home and gave away large amounts of candy to other Trick-or-Treaters. If you are thinking that this is a zero-sum process, you need to factor in the actual fun involved in wandering the streets looking at the decorations and trying to find the “full-size” houses. Their neighborhood decorates extravagantly and attracts massive numbers of drive-in visitors. The neighborhood looked like Main Street in Disneyland with hundreds of families on sugar quests. An altogether enjoyable evening! Trick Photography (Yes, it's a phone photo in very dim light.) Dave 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zackiedawg Posted November 9, 2022 #3 Share Posted November 9, 2022 A weekend out in the wetlands again - short Saturday trip interrupted by rain, followed by a clearer Sunday: A male common yellowthroat: Female cormorant standing on and enjoying the smallest island in the wetlands: The white eyed vireo, showing how it got its name: A tricolored heron flying towards me: A black-crowned night heron getting drenched in a downpour - the photographer looked about the same: A green darner dragonfly in flight: Getting closeup with a Wilson's snipe: If you're a fish, lizard, or snake, this is NOT a face you want to see emerging from the reeds...the American bittern, a well camouflaged and accomplished hunter: And here's a snake that unfortunately got to see that very face come lunging its way - the only thing the snake could do was to quickly coil around the bird's bill to try to prevent it from opening to swallow it: The duel went on for quite a while - the snake holding on tight, and the bittern violently whipping and flicking to try to dislodge the snake: In the end, the master hunter won out - once the bittern managed to dislodge the snake's coils from his bill, he was able to snatch the head and whip the snake around until its neck broke...once he's got the head, it's all over - the snake went down the gullet quickly after: 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
