Beautiful male Blue-wing Teal duck in full display plumage slowly maneuvering its way through a tangle of cattail stalks to open water.

Handsome Black Swallowtail butterfly sampling nectar in a patch of Bee Balm flowers.

A flock of crows drew me to this place but by the time I got out of the truck and got my camera and set up they flew away! I was so disappointed when they flew away, they are just out of the frame. Crows are very spooky because they get shot at all the time! But it was still a beautiful scene.

This nice little shed in Underhill, VT was obviously once bright red. It looks like someone covered that with asphalt tiles at some point. I don't know what it would have been used for, with such a low doorway and window. It doesn't look like it would require much time, money or work to fix it up. Keith, if you are looking for a place to stay in Vermont, I could give you the directions.

Creative shot that I discovered when exploring underneath the Canfield Rd Bridge.

HDR 16 seconds, 30 seconds, and 60 seconds.

Jake and I caught a Snapping Turtle... Not on purpose

Delicate Meadow Garlic flowers from a patch located near Hubbard Pond. A common native plant.

Deseret Peak Wilderness offers rugged terrain with many steep-walled canyons. Here in The Narrows, autumn colors contrast beautifully against the massive canyon walls.

GPS is not the exact spot of the shot.

No comments – just enjoy :-)

VTR 307 (ex-SSW GP40-2) leads a GMRC passenger train over Cavendish Gulf Road in Cavendish, VT with some nice foliage.

Chelydra serpentina

Could you find a more perfect juxtaposition on a nature walk than a slow moving snapping turtle and a rapidly flowing waterfall? The little fella even stayed still long enough for me to take a half-second exposure!
