Natural Blur
There are no mistakes, just happy accidents.” – Bob Ross
I was trying to capture this bird in flight – obviously failed. However this seems to have a water color effect right out of the camera. The only processing was crop.

Frond Power
I continue to be fascinated by palm fronds. This one has the lighter area radiating from it’s stem. The patterns found in nature continue to amuse me.

“The sky is the daily bread of the eyes” – Ralph Waldo Emerson
This fellow was doing a sort of mating ritual – he was perched and would fly about in a perfect square of about 4 foot. I couldn’t spot the other birds he was trying to impress, perhaps he was practicing.

Anhinga
Anhinga – Orlando Wetlands Park – April 2015
The anhinga – also known as a snake bird because it swims with it’s body completely below the water and looks like a snake. Also, in response to a question I was asked on Saturday anhinga is a Brazilian tupi word. And tupi was a prevalent language in Brazil prior to the arrival of the Portuguese.

More Moon

Eclipse
“I like to think the moon is there, even if I’m not looking at it” – Albert Einstein
Only one shot of the eclipse, I had to race it to an opening in the trees before it sank below the them.

Jurrasic Florida
Only thing missing are the dinosaurs. These ferns were 4-5 foot high.
Next time at the park I’m going to carry my wide angle zoom for some different perspectives. I was limited by telephoto.
Doves
“The thrustelcok made eek hir lay, The wode dove upon the spray She sang ful loude and cleere.” Geoffrey Chaucer
Middle English, perhaps we should create internet memes in middle English like the ones that say “if you can read this…..”.
