Hawkeye

Here’s my rendition of “Hawkeye,” as this hawk certainly had his eye trained on me the entire time I focused my camera on him.

Strike a Pose

And what a pose this Anhinga (snake bird) has! Wakulla Springs, Florida

Dolphins, Birds, and the Beach, Oh My!

A day at the beach always does a soul good, toes in the sand, crystal clear water, even dolphins playing close by. Heaven on Earth, otherwise known as Destin, Florida.

The Hawks

We have a pair of hawks that regularly call our neighborhood home; I spotted both of them on the roof of two houses last evening. They are beautiful, graceful creatures. I’d love to capture an image of them flying!

Hovering Hummingbird

Why yes, I do seem to have a collection of photographs of various hummingbirds, eh? Hummingbirds are as common in Costa Rica as dragonflies in Florida, but seeing these speedy creatures here at home are a rare occasion. So I focused (literally!) on those hovering hummingbirds whenever I could. Which was quite a lot. 😉

Pura Vida!

Toucan

(Two Images) I love this toucan; he/she posed for me! Taken at La Paz Waterfall Gardens in Costa Rica. Pura Vida!

Sleek

I truly miss all of the Hummingbirds zapping by and feeding on the glorious flowers in Costa Rica; however, I have been blessed to see a couple in my yard this year. Here’s what I call, “sleek,” a rare moment when a hummingbird actually stopped and rested. For just a second!

The Hungry Hummingbird

(Two images) “Mmmmm. Sweet nectar.”

The Hummingbird Duo

The Hummingbird duo, scoping out where to buzz off to next. These birds are quite difficult to photograph as they’re constantly moving! Fortunately, sometimes they stop for a millisecond or so. 😉
