Robed In Red

It's great when the hummingbirds give me an added bonus and land on something that gives me a great background.  This Ruby-Throated hummingbird landed in front of a vibrant colored plant called Amaranth Opopeo.

Sunset Pelican

When I want to photograph birds at sunset, there is always a risk the location I pick will come up empty.  There is no hurrying off to another location that day if there aren't birds there.  I was pleased to find this pelican waiting to have its portrait taken.

A photograph I took of a Snowy egret this morning.  I thought it was a very fitting title because tomorrow is Thanksgiving!  Happy Thanksgiving!!  Thanks for visiting my blog:)

The baby goat is checkin' out his new world as he peers out over the lake.  The umbilical cord can still be seen.

Another shot I took while at the Tallulah Gorge State Park during the water release from the dam.

A Pillow Of Water

"A Pillow Of Water"

My husband and I headed to the mountains for me to photograph the fall colors.  We went to two waterfalls before we headed to Tallulah Gorge State Park.

 

  The park was packed.  We asked what was going on and were told today was the first of several water release dates.  Normally, there is 35-40 cubic feet per second flowing through the gorge.  Today, there were 500 CFS!  Kayakers have the dates saved on their calendars and come out to enjoy the great rapids. 

 

My agenda quickly changed.  How many times will I be able to photograph world class kayakers going over a class five rapid?  I set up my tripod and watched as the kayakers hit the huge wall of water and totally disappeared.....kayak and all. 

 

I love this photograph because it looks like the kayaker is hugging a pillow of water.

Mirror Image

I love when I am able to capture a photograph where the reflection in the water is a mirror image of the subject.

My favorite subject to photograph!  I watch them, and they are always watching me.

Menacing

Does the title come from the those "menacing" red eyes or the "menacing" photographer taking its photograph.

Tattered

My dad told me about a Spoonbill nest, and I wanted to find it.  I did not know quite where it was, so I stopped and asked around.  I came across several feral cats outside a business.  The owners were feeding them, but they were still very skittish.  This one did not seem to mind that I was taking his photograph.

Knobby Knees

UH-OH!

"UH-OH!" 

Judy Royal Glenn Photography

 

Chipmunks run back and forth across my front steps. I saw them twice, so I decided to get my camera and set it up where they cross the steps.

 

I heard this little fellow coming and when he hopped onto the step, I took his photo. 

 

 He then proceeded to spit out one acorn then another and dashed off to safety. 

 

 He left behind the acorns but later came back to get them!

 

The story told in a triptych.
