365 Days of Photos – Day 16
Today was such a beautiful day in North Texas. After a week (plus) of cold temperatures, gray skies and even some rain, we finally returned to temperatures in the 60’s (F) and blue skies.
I took some time to walk around a local pond and snap pictures of the ducks. I caused quite a ruckus when several younger ducks waddled up to say hi. The older ducks quickly followed and started hissing (like cats!) at me (or the ducks I’m not sure). No matter who their hissing was aimed at it was obvious they didn’t want us to spend any significant time together! (Muscovy Ducks)
Then there was this little guy…I just thought he was cute! He is a Northern Shoveler.
And what duck photo shoot is complete without a picture of a Mallard Duck?

The Forest Floor (yes my dog is photo bombing the shot!) – Northern Ontario
I believe one of the most beautiful sights in the world is the shadowed floor of a forest.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Yellow
This week’s photo challenge is the color yellow.
The Color Green
When asked to share pictures of the color green I immediately think of nature. These trellis photos were taken last spring in Austin Texas.

Photo Challenge: Refraction
“For this photo challenge, show us what “refraction” means to you. It could be an image taken in a reflective surface, it could be light bent from behind an object, or it could mean remedial math homework: the choice is completely up to you.” Daily Post Photo Challenge
So…..here is refraction!
Migration Time
It is migration time in Texas. The Monarch Butterflies are passing through. I went to the Fort Worth Botanical Gardens and the Dallas Arboretum and was lucky enough to stand among hundreds of butterflies.
As I zoomed in to get pictures of the monarchs I felt overwhelmed by their beauty and amazed by the journey they were undertaking.
