King of the …

Many years ago, when I was a young we played 'king of the hill'. The objective was to be on top of the 'hill' while everyone else attempted to remove you. It was often rough. The larger turtle in this photo seems to be on the hill and I doubt the little one is going to take over his position. ~ Rick

Bunting

I have been trying to get a clean photo of an Indigo Bunting all spring. We have seen a few, but the photos have not been great. This is the best so far but it is still not the photo I am looking for.

I see he found a seed snack. I am sure that will come out the other end and propogate the plant species for another spring.

Cool Spring Morning

I shot this photo on Fathers Day at about 6:50A. Teresa and I took an early morning hike. The Miami river flows behind where I was standing, and a deer had just crossed the hiking path and disappeared into the treeline on the other side of this pond. It was a cool morning. The temperature was about 50°F.

This is my favorite time of day. The mind clears and life seems less messy when it is just you, nature and someone you love. Enjoy it when you can.

Wisdom and Age

I really have no way to know, but I suspect this Mallard is older .. a little aged. When I think about getting older I hope there is some compensation for age. My dad sure seemed to get wiser as he aged. Now that I am the 'old' guy, I am not so sure. I sure don't feel old. Life is an amazing experience. Have an amazing day.

Those Legs

Check out those legs. This is a Black-necked Stilt. We saw a few of them while visiting family in Utah. This bird needs some time at the squat rack🤣.
