Summer 2024
Well, summer is officially over at the time of this writing and things were very interesting in the wildlife and nature genre. Although extremely challenging, I was able to capture some moments which reflect the beauty of God’s creation. Below you will see a variety of images that I have gathered over the summer months. I hope you enjoy them …
So, I had a very interesting day at the park today, July 25, 2024. Here is the story…. Once upon a time there was this little female Eastern Bluebird sitting on a fence. she was minding her own business when in annoying male did a fly-by, not once but at least five times. After the fifth fly-by she got really upset yelling at him to leave her alone and really putting on the mad face. So here is the scene acted out by the one and only Thelma and that crazy joe guy ... After watching the fighting she decided to find another spot to get away from the pesky fellow... Follow the pics. They tell the story. Hopefully I got the images in order .... LOL
