I probably should have paid more attention to what these were before they were these. At the least look through older images.
Even the wasp were keeping their distance.

This is one of my favorite subjects to photograph, especially when showing green. A Carolina Anole, aka American Anole.
They don’t have color ranges like a chameleon, it’s green and brown, that’s all.
For the most part they are in subtropical US, 4 or 5 southern states. There are other similar species in the Caribbean.
I found this one out back in an arbor. Plants and bushes for insects and places to hide. The Anole only eat live insects, they must see them move before eating.

The infamous Common Gallinule chicks. They can be called the ‘ugliest’ of baby birds. To be fair they grow out of that phase quickly. These young birds below are the next stage in their growth and have grown away from the ‘ugly’. A week earlier and they are a sight to behold.

Young Tricolors look much different than the adults. This one must have just fledged and was out testing his wings. The nests were not very far away. He could still be back in time for dinner.
Look at that fuzz head !!
I must admit, I didn’t see the little chick looking over the nesting at me when I shot this.😆 Cute little critter.

I’m not a macro photographer but when an opportunity comes along I’ll give it a try. For me the trick is getting as much of the subject on focus as possible. Shooting OM Systems helps they have greater depth of field than most.
I need practice. I did get interesting shadows and colors.
This is how thick Duck Weed can get. Turtles become completely encased in the plants.
If you view this large you can see the actual plant that is Duck Weed. It’s the smallest flowering plant in the world.
