They move quickly, slowly, delicately and often quietly; the wildlife and various creatures of Florida.
Check this one out! Isn't it so cool? I wish I could've gotten even closer to this little guy, but this will have to do. I got a couple of other cool shots as well. Take a look below for some additional little slug fun.
This slug had a good time. It initially was on the ground and my little one got it to walk onto that green thing you see in the shot (It is for throwing a ball for my dog) and then put it onto the table. The slug seemed quite curious and ultimately she got it back onto the green thing again (prompted from me) and she put it delicately on the grass (which is obviously the last picture).
Congratulations, you have just watched the journey (caused by a child) of a slug from my yard in Florida. Wasn't that fun? I think so. Capturing the pictures were at least.
Hey you! Yes, you there...the one hiding behind the chair. What are you up to?
If you have followed some of my other photography, you will know by now that I enjoying taking pictures of the little lizards in my area. I find them extremely cute and love getting the chance to take a closer look at them, especially since they are pretty darn skittish. This one got a little camera shy and hid behind one of my patio chairs, it made for some great photography though as behind the chairs it felt a little more secure (or seemed to) so it didn't run off while I was trying my darndest to focus my manual lens well enough to get a couple of crisp shots.
The ones that always seem to get away (or better yet, have the wrong timing for me).
I adore Sandhill Cranes. I have never seen them in my life until I moved down here to Florida. They are big, loud (when they call out) and so beautiful. These majestic birds are ones that I so desperately want to capture pictures of, closer ones using my usual 90 lens. Of course, it seems to always happen that I am driving at the time and also never seem to have my camera sitting beside me (except my cell phone of course). So, I decided to take a shot at least using my cell phone, which is fine and all, but not the type of shot I was looking for. I will get a great picture of them, it is my goal. Until then, you can enjoy this one.
You will often find these beautiful birds in pairs, and most recently with young ones, but this pair didn't seem to get a new addition this year. Anyways, they are wonderful to watch and so captivating to see flying above with their very loud squawks/calls. It's also good to know that in the State of Florida, these birds are protected, which I think is a wonderful thing.
I certainly hope you enjoyed my photographs. Curious what Wednesday Walk is all about? Go check out , and his latest post about it here
