Hi - thanks so much for dropping by our 100th post and leaving a comment! We LOVE the photo of the turle hiding in the algae, really wonderful. The bird shots are great too - sadly, if we saw birds like that we wouldn't be able to help ourselves and would end up woofing at them and probably scare them away....sigh! Schnauzer snuggles - JD and Max.
Hi there, are you doing ok? A turtle with things GROWING on its shell?! Strange! I went to a market today and saw a huge mushroom with lingonberries growing on top of it. That was pretty strange too. Then I saw those two huge dogs with the sunglasses and seatbelts and this time I had my camera! Yay! They will be blogged..... hugs x
The Night Heron is so beautiful - very elegant - but the turtle! - is it common for them to have foliage growing on them? Perhaps they like to develop their own camouflage!
Hi Snap, Hope you enjoyed the zoo. I remember taking my grands to the zoo at Houston. VERY nice!!!! I'm sure you will get some great 'camera critters' photos from there.
BUT--today's pictures are great also. Love that turtle --who was really disguised there.
Great shots Snap (snap shot, shots snap...you can see what kind of day I'm having!! lol!!). That turle was amazingly chamoflouged (forget spelling today!) and the bird shots are so close up. I hope you do put these into frames!
Terrific camouflage for that turtle. I have to admit I love Florida birds, there is something magical about them. You should get those 8 x 10's into some frames and see them every day, now that you've rediscovered them yourself.
Mr. Dragon and I are at a special camera day at the zoo. I prepared today's Camera Critters from some old photos (film not digital) I came across recently. I knew I wouldn't have time for a *new* critter post.
[Image] I took these pictures about 10 years ago when we went to Florida to see a shuttle launch. I love the turtle with the *plant* growing on his back and the green stuff he was living in. I didn't see him until he moved. Really blended in the algae.
[Image] A white Egret.
[Image] My favorite shots were of the Night Heron.
[Image] I made 8x10's of both shots intending to frame them and never did. I have the frames. Maybe it's possible they'll hang around to be enjoyed!

p.s. The last photo is so postcard beautiful!

I think that turtle needs to move more in the algae water!
Lovely film shots!

Snap: Very cool snaps from Florida. I had a snapper last week that had leaves on its back.

I love turtles! We see them poke their noses (snouts?) up when we go kayaking.

That turtle is amazing! And the birds are beautiful, too. They have such long graceful necks.

Very nice post! I never saw a night heron before....I actually never even heard of them before. Thanks for sharing.

What WONDERFUL shots ... timeless actually. I've played at Small Reflections this week.
Hugs and blessings,

These are gorgeous shots! I never would have guessed they weren't digital. Beautiful subjects too! The Snowy Egret looks beyond graceful.

This turtle is really amazing ! Looks like a piece of moss with a head, lol !
