Birds of Fox Island

Hawks are perhaps one of my favorite visitors that Hawks are perhaps one of my favorite visitors that come around the house. I find them mysterious when they are using their searching abilities for what ever they are looking for. Not sure if this one found what it is looking for but I am glad I am not on the receiving end of this bird. #hawk #bird #birdofprey
Hummingbirds. Mysterious little creatures, so fas Hummingbirds. Mysterious little creatures, so fast, you blink and they are gone. Changed our feeder water (just using sugar water) yesterday and this little bird has been hanging around most of the day. This shot was from Sunday Morning. He is back lit. I was afraid to go to the other side of the feeder in case that would scare him off. I am not sure when they leave for the summer but glad I was finally able to snap a photo. #hummingbird #indiana #outdoors #sonya6000
Imperfection. If you wait too long, you often tim Imperfection. If you wait too long, you often times miss an opportunity as I have with this shot. This butterfly took off a split second before I hit the shutter. Makes me think of the way this year has been. Trying to look at the now, when yesterday is already gone and soon becomes a faded memory. This year has certainly been a crazy one. Lets take some time to look at all of God's creations and live in the now. I did get a few with the butterfly holding still for me. Shot at Eagle Marsh in Fort Wayne. #eaglemarsh #butterfly #monarchbutterfly #flowers #yellow #blue #nature #imperfect #godscreation
I think this is one of my favorite horse photos. I think this is one of my favorite horse photos. This horse is on an island with other horses. You can see a few horses while taking a boat from Harkers Island and Cape Lookout in North Carolina. This is a handheld shot from a tourist boat. #capelookout #horse #blacknwhite #nature #island #northcarolina

Trying to capture the Neowise comet has been chall Trying to capture the Neowise comet has been challenging. The first two nights out for me were a bit cloudy. I did manage to capture this one with a bonus. The comet is somewhat behind the cloud on the left. This comet was barely visible to the eye. I was hoping it would have been brighter than what it was. What I liked was the added affect from a random Firefly on the right. I may try to get out and try to shoot the fireflies soon. #neowise #firefly #astrophotography #night #yellow #clouds

Certainly was a beautiful weekend to go for a walk Certainly was a beautiful weekend to go for a walk near Wabash. This is a shot of one of the little falls at Hathaway Nature Preserve at Ross Run. It was a pretty popular place as parking was very limited and cars were along the road. Imagine that, we have a major pandemic and people get outdoors to enjoy what God created!! Enjoy :) #ACRES, #hathawaypreserve , #waterfall, #nature #indiana #wabashindiana
This is part of my "Fun With Photography" series. This is part of my "Fun With Photography" series. Playing with dice dropping in water. I am trying to capture the dice as it just gets past the surface of the water. Managed to catch this one to start. This was shot in a plastic square vase. I think I need to find a glass one that is super clean to hopefully get a cleaner capture. Trying to keep myself occupied during this whole coronavirus pandemic, other than playing Red Dead Redemption... #dice #water #splash #toy #funwithphotography

I believe the lighter colored bird's name was given the name of Lucy. Shot at Fox Island Nature Preserve. #cardinal #bird #foxislandnaturepreserve #foxisland
