What a bunch of lucky ducks, they get to enjoy the river all year long. Need to get a closer look, at those ducks I have never seen before.

FALL COLORS
“The key to change... is to let go of fear.”
Fall is by far my favorite time of year.... The leaves of trees are just plain magical. This year was a spectalur show.

BELTED KINGFISHER
"Everything comes too late for those who only wait.”
Been trying to capture a shot of this bird since last winter. Finally he sat long enough for me to hear his song and take lots of photos. What a awesome bird.

ROBIN'S NEST
“The present was an egg laid by the past that had the future inside its shell.”
My daughter spotted this one. I never knew how exciting bird watching could be. Especially when it comes to us, in our tree. Can't wait to see their little beaks sticking out.

COYOTE/BUCK
“Those who go along, get along.”
I was quite surprised to see this coyote, just wondering around the heard of deer that night. Wasn't going to stick around to long, in case this was dinner time.

STORM AT SUNSET
“If you spend your whole life waiting for the storm, you'll never enjoy the sunshine.”
The sun sure made this an awesome shot. I look at it like this, there should be a bright side to every storm.

JULY SUNRISE
“We can only appreciate the miracle of a sunrise if we have waited in the darkness”
Some of my best days have started before the sunrise. Everyone should wake up early once in a while and take one in.

GOLDFINCH
"Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience."
Little wild canary is what I like to call him. These birds take good pictures, because they like to land on all sorts of wild flowers.

RED-HEADED WOOD PECKER
"Good things come to all who wait."
He's been a mystery to me as he flies by every once in awhile. All I see is a black and white bird. Finally, I figured it out when he landed in sight. Mystery solved, that's a Red-Headed Wood Pecker.

This young deer is so cute. So glad, I didn't spook him during his dinner.

LILY PADS AND CATTAILS
“Keep your head above water”
Where there are cattails, there is water. Where there is water, there are lily pads. Where there are lily pads, there are frogs.

BLACK-CROWNED NIGHT HERON
“It's beauty that captures your attention;
You can really see his black crown good in these photos. Glad I was able to see this night heron again, he seems so relaxed this time.

GREEN HERON
“The key to success is often the ability to adapt”
I have only seen these birds resting their necks on their shoulders. I had no idea they could also look like this when they were feeding.

WILD FLOWERS
"Love is the answer, and you know that for sure."
In a forest field full of yellow flowers the pretty pink ones really stand out.

"Love is the flower you've got to let grow."
One of my goals this summer is to capture as many wildflowers I can. That way in the dead of winter I can reflect back and next summer won't seem so far away.

BABY TURKEYS
"A baby is born with a need to be loved - and never outgrows it." 
I saw theses little poults in the bean field the other day..Just thought they were turkeys. Now that I see them with their parents, I know now they are babies. And they are called poults. I call them cute baby turkeys.

WHITE TAILED FAWN
“The trick is growing up without growing old.”
Been waiting to catch a shot of one of these little guys before they are all grown up. The fawns are so cute, with all their spots.

BLACK-CROWNED NIGHT HERON
"Day by day, nothing seems to change. But pretty soon, every thing's different.”
Not really sure what kind of bird this is. I'm guessing red eyed something..I was just informed that he is a Black-Crowned Night-Heron.

He loves me..Looks like purple daisies to me...he loves me...

GREEN HERON
“When you doubt your power, you give power to your doubt”
I thought, hello beautiful bird as he flew up beside me. The green herons are not as timed as the bigger herons. He flew right by me for a brief photo shoot, then off to a better spot to fish.

RACCOONS
"Peekaboo, I see you!"
I heard something crying in the woods, never expected to see these little critters hanging in the tree. Had to get this shot quick, didn't see their Mom but, I'm sure she could see me.

GROUND SQUIRREL
"Now is the only thing that exists."
I have just entered the forest full of ground squirrels. They scambered around me, as I was taking it all in. They have got to be, one of the cutes rats I have ever seen.

“I just want the world to give nature the opportunity to survive.”
Looks like this little creature has found himself a great snack.

BALTIMORE ORIOLE
"I work as often as I want and yet I'm free as a bird."
I have seen these orioles fly past me a few times. Now, finally one sat long enough for a picture.
If you sit in the woods long enough and pay attention there are so many beautifully feathered friends to capture.

This is the moon that makes you want to stay up all night!
