Hello? – Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge – July 2015

Found this fellow peering behind a weir. The water was super reflective that day.

Here I am again – preaching to myself to slow down and spend more time watching and listening. But I have not been able to contain the excitement of what might be around the next bend. Sigh.

Juvenile White Faced Ibis – Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge – June 2015

“Whenever you do a thing, act as if the whole world is watching.” – Thomas Jefferson

I enjoy watching the birds feeding. It’s a lesson in sharing and togetherness. I’m not sure the ibis is a white faced, could be a glossy – too close for me to tell.
