Black Swan

Black swans have such a powerful grace about them. I was fortunate enough to catch this majestic beauty taking a bath and capturing the water droplets cascading off it's graceful neck. Seize the day and channel your inner Swan!

Feathered Friends

Roseate Spoonbill surrounded by Snowy White Egrets. It was a beautiful still morning with a brilliant blue cloudless sky reflecting off the water.

Female Flamingo

Caribbean flamingo dripping with water after eating from water bottom at the Texas State Aquarium in Corpus Christi. I was up close and personal with this fiesty lady. I thought she was going to peck at my lens but, she was just curious about what I was doing.

What Happened to my Tree?!!

Yellow-bellied Sapsucker having a feast on my Mom's tree she planted 45 years ago. Sadly the tree had to be cut down due to the massive infestation. The woodpecker appears to be very happy with the situation though.

Sunrise Stroll

The Gathering

Laughing Gulls gathered on the West End Beach in Galveston. It was one of those rare days when the Galveston Bay water actually looked blue instead of the usual brown caused by churned up sediment. The gulls seemed to be talking about also and called a friend down to join the conversation.
