I may have published a Tree Frog on our Hummingbird feeder before. I was sure I did, but here in the WP web site world I can’t find any older images. Doesn’t matter these are fresh off the hard drive 😋😋.
I have read one of the best features of Fuji cameras is their color rendering. I have also read the reaction of Fuji users when first shooting OM. The color red gets high praise. I don’t think you can get a better example than these.
First, let me be clear. We weren’t all that close. Though the lens couldn’t get the entire gator in focus.
In the local swamp it’s common for an Alligator to float around just a few feet off the trails. If nobody is around they crawl up on the bank to get dry and nap.
He looks half asleep in this shot 😆.
This is it. A White Ibis at the peak of their mating colors.
Looks painful doesn’t it.
I describe it as blood red in any place that has no feathers. Which is almost accurate. Baby blue eyes and a black at the point of the beak, but everything else is red.
I actually like these birds. They have odd habits that give them a personality. Like they mumble, under their breath. 😆.
I felt the need for something different, so a little southern Gothic – Victorian look seemed right. 😆
Found on a walk…

Not what I expected.
I think this Tree Frog discovered the local insects stop by for a drink. To him this is an all day buffet.
A fun shot best viewed large.
Photographed with an OM-1 (1), OM 12 -200. Finished in ON1.
I felt eyes.
This water isn’t very deep, even for a small Alligator.
In shallow water, especially with weeds, you can’t see but they walk along the bottom. Their huge claws make it easy.
The Lowcountry has been terribly dry, almost no rain. Now the southern heat has arrived. Fun is.
The weather is exactly what Anhinga love, and I’m thinking the Duck Weed does too.
That solid green throughout the photograph is water. Covered in Duck Weed, but still water. It looks solid enough to walk on doesn’t it.
Duck Weed is one of the smallest flowering plants in the world. It floats along the surface of still water and multiplies very fast.
