There are signs posted saying if you do eat anything from here to limit it to one fish per month.

The Mecury content thing is really scary but to be able to see a fish swim in water like that is rather cool.

As a 'shutter bug' I'm blessed to be shooting 'Digital' instead of waiting for prints a week later ...

It is AWESOME Rick A. I love digital.

Flowers at the Arboretum in Lexington Ky

The perspective and composition of this flower shot is particularly special.
The sun illuminating the flower petals has a touch of magic to it.
That is a very cleverly taken shot. The contrast of the purple petals
with the green of the stalks combined with the blue and white
of the sky makes this striking to me. What a unique way of seeing the world-
from the perspective of the flowers!

We have here a picture of the Edmonds Ferry and Edmonds Marina. Then, the Vegetable Market in downtown Seattle. Finally, a picture of the sunrise from my front window. This is where I live.

Young carpet python sun baking on the lawn.

Such a gentle and beautiful looking creature.

Hope the images are within forum limits.

Photo 1: Green tree frog.

Have heaps of these little guys. At night they move in and sit around my kitchen benches and lounge room waiting for insects.

Is quite interesting when my kids come to visit as some live in the back toilet bowl.

Make great barometers, the croaking is deafening when rain is due.

Photo 2 & 3: A baby water dragon sitting on Grumpy's head next to the fish pond.

It is about 150mm/6 inches long.

The adults are quite large, have a big female that sits next to me when I go fishing in the creek down the back. Was baiting up a prawn (shrimp) and thought I'd give her one, bad idea, guess she didn't know the difference between my finger and prawn meat!

Speaking of snakes ... while I was fly fishing the Big Horn River, I made a turn on the trail and this is what I found.

Just a few photos of my resident 'critters' that live near my SHIRE

Amazing photos Rick! What bird is that in your 2nd picture? Looks like a Black Throated Diver or similar.

I'm just loving these pictures, the snakes and lizards, the wild flowers are all an insight into another persons world!

 

[CaringMomma]

I have to agree with you Cath! These pictures are all wonderful.

I love the definition of the close up.

You can even see the heat sensing pits.

The eyes look a little cloudy to me - were they cloudy? That means the python will shed her/his skin in about three days.
