Woodpecker and Cactus

I had just started my hike when I heard a thumping up in a tree. Looking up I finally saw the little woodpecker making all the noise. He was mostly in sunlight so I shot some pictures. I did have to try to wait until he wasn’t pecking. You can see a little motion blur… Read More Woodpecker and Cactus

A Week of OK Photos

Footbridge at the Park

The Bee and the Rat Snake It’s been very hot and very dry here. Nothing is terribly photogenic right now and it is difficult to get motivated to go out somewhere in all this heat. But I have tried to take a few photos while walking around in the mornings and evenings. Some of the… Read More A Week of OK Photos

Urban Wildlife: Water Snakes

There are a lot of water snakes in the ponds of the park where I walk. They usually don’t pose for photos, but these guys seemed pretty active in the morning sunlight. The light was shining from a nice angle such that I could partly see through the water and see the other 99% of… Read More Urban Wildlife: Water Snakes

Urban Wildlife: Heron with Crawfish

Heron with a Crawfish

On Friday morning’s walk in the park, I walked right up on a heron in the pond, so I grabbed the camera to take a picture and then I noticed that he had something in his beak. I couldn’t tell what at the time so I snapped away. Later, when looking over my pictures, I… Read More Urban Wildlife: Heron with Crawfish

Urban Wildlife

Rabbit

With the apparent work-from-home year we are having eliminating my daily commute, I have turned that time into daily walks in the park near my neighborhood. As a result, I have noticed a lot of urban wildlife that we have. Usually you just think of the green area as having some birds and squirrels in… Read More Urban Wildlife

Because They Don’t Know The Words

Hummingbird at Feeder

I have a hummingbird feeder in my backyard and the hummingbirds don’t come around too often, but last night one did and the light was perfect. I could sit in the shade of the house with the setting sun shining on the feeder and bird. I also picked a vantage point such that I would… Read More Because They Don’t Know The Words

Texas Spiny Lizard

The Texas Spiny Lizard is native to the South central United States and parts of Mexico. They aren’t endangered at all and are quite common, and from looking at siting maps online it appears that they are mostly seen from central North Texas down to Northern Mexico. They usually run and hide or climb a… Read More Texas Spiny Lizard

White Heron in a Neighborhood Pond

As a distraction from staring at this: I have been going outside with my longest lens, 70-200mm f/2.8. A few evenings ago, I sat out back with my computer and noticed that the birds came to the birdbath while I was sitting there. So, the next evening I brought my camera with me to see… Read More More Photography from Home

Armadillos and Golden Hour

Saturday was nice, it was quite warm for the first of February. I got out of the house and went to Colorado Bend State Park for some hiking. I lugged my camera down the trails in case I saw some wildlife. I did see a lot of armadillos. Armadillos are not very stealthy. You hear… Read More Armadillos and Golden Hour
