Back from vacation!!! :-)

An old shot that I took sometime ago. The bird was in full bright sun and it flew past a very dark shadow as I shot. The image processed fast enough to give me a nearly black background. I just made a few adjustments in PS and turned it to pure black.

A pelican with a mohawk!..........D800

One our local alligators at the edge of town. There are quite a few of them along the canal. This particular alligator is probably 4 -5 feet long. I think he wants to be fed but I didn't! :-) He did a good job of posing for me though.

I am.....Little Blue!!! ......D700

No snow here!!! A swamp scene in southeast Louisiana. The warm weather does get the plants and trees to growing rather quickly. It also gets the lawn mowers to running too!!! :-) There is an alligator outside the left of this image but not visable in pic. Actualy there were three or four small alligators to the right of this scene too. I did not have my 500mm lens with me on this short trip. I would have needed it to 'shoot' them on this trip.

Coming in for a landing.........D800

Another smoke image. The smoke is from incense sticks bought at a Dollar Store and it works just fine. These are relatively easy to set up and once you are shooting you can get a lot of shots! Especially nice when it is raining or bad weather outside, you can shoot inside! I have a lot of these and will occasionally post one. I colorize them in Photoshop. :-)

Nest building time......D700

One of the pelicans at Bonnabel boat launch. I went there last weekend and there were twenty four...I went last evening and there was only one. Soon they will head to the marsh for nesting season.
