My Favorite Five – “Thanksgiving Day Surprises”

My Favorite Five – “Thanksgiving Day Surprises”

Judy Royal Glenn Photography

Before I post my “top nine for 2021” photo on Instagram, I wanted to post my favorite five posts from 2021 and see the difference. 

Here they are……  

Backstory:

I’ve saved the life of many animals. It brings me great joy! 

Two baby cardinals fell from a nest and I rescued them. I saved the life of an Eastern red bat, a baby bunny from the jaws of a cat, and now, the life of a duck. Better yet, it was Thanksgiving Day.

I went to a local pond on St. Simons Island, Georgia to see if the hooded mergansers migrated yet. They were not there, but I enjoyed watching the ducks on the shore. 

One duck it particular had several other ducks around it under the brush. I wondered if she was laying an egg. 

As I was driving away, I noticed two goats following a gentleman on a motorized scooter. I stopped to speak to him. How often do you get to see a goat on the island?

His name is Doc. He mentioned the ducks would lay their eggs on the bank of the pond, but raccoons and other animals eat the eggs. He and another lady would gather the eggs. She bought two incubators to hatch them. 

I might know where an egg is. A smile lit my face as I looked down under the brush and found an egg. I was delighted. Doc said, “It’s still warm.” 

Doc took the lady the egg. I was quite ecstatic!

My Favorite Five – “Ma, This Christmas Tree!”

My Favorite Five – “Ma, This Christmas Tree!”

Before I post my “top nine for 2021” photo on Instagram, I wanted to post my favorite five posts from 2021 and see the difference.

Christmas is not about picking the perfect tree—it is about Jesus born in a manger over 2000 years ago. He came to this earth to die on a cross for our sins. If we trust in Him and accept Him as Lord and Savior, we can be with Him in Heaven when we die.

It’s as simple as ABC. A — Admit that you are a sinner. (Romans 3:23)

B — Believe that Jesus, God’s only son, was born and died on the cross for your sins. (Acts 16:31)

C — Confess and repent of your sins and ask Him to be Lord of your life. (1 John 1:9)

Here they are……

Backstory:

Cubs are so cute to observe as they explore their new environment. This cub was no exception.

He first used his sense of smell and inhaled the aroma of the fir needles. He began to play with the branch, then became unstable and slipped off the log onto the forest floor.

Christmas was far away, but he wanted to pick out the Christmas tree early.

Backstory:

I am thankful the Lord created so many beautiful animals for us to see. His nature is amazing.

I also love the way He works. Last year, a total stranger mentioned seeing a fox which led me to her!

Isn’t she gorgeous?

My Favorite Five – “Giddyup, Mama!”

My Favorite Five – “Giddyup, Mama!”

Before I post my “top nine for 2021” photo on Instagram, I wanted to post my favorite five posts from 2021 and see the difference. I thought I would post them here too. 

Here they are……  

Backstory:

Once in a while, you get a special opportunity when out photographing. A black bear and her cubs graced my presence. They meandered about on Sparks Lane for a while. I parked my car at the top of the hill and Hazel and her cubs decided to walk near it. 

While I was photographing her, I noticed another set of ears popping up on her back. One of her cubs climbed on her back and told her, “Giddyup, Mama!”

“Kung Fu Fighting”

“Kung Fu Fighting”

Judy Royal Glenn Photography

This spring, these black bear cubs had a blast in Cades Cove on their field trip as they were kung fu fighting on top of a log. They also got to climb trees, play peek-a-boo, pick out a Christmas tree, sneak attack their siblings, sleep in a tree, nurse on Mom’s rich milk, play follow the leader on a log, cross the road safely, and observe those funny humans while peering through weeds as tall as they were. 

These little ones were playing right before the Missionary Baptist Church. They were putting on a show. Boy did they create quite a bear jam that day!
