Summer in the Swamp

Jul 23, 2011 by Janine |
We are enjoying some fine hot weather here in South Florida along with most of the country. Wildlife in the swamp seems to be on siesta. Here are some shots from the past couple of weeks:

Whats for dinner tonight honey?



I dunno, better ask these vultures.



Feel like lizard?



Nah, we had that yesterday. How about grasshopper?



The one that got away.



New growth on the leather ferns.





Mom was close by trying to get her fawn to follow her into the woods, but instead he froze.



Turklets.



In other news, I will be taking a trip to Washington pretty soon, with both vacation and working time. I am looking forward to spending time with friends and exploring Olympic National Park. It will be my first trip to the pacific northwest and I am very excited about it. It will be nice to get a break from the heat, and I am hoping to see and photograph some new wildlife.
