Wildlife Wednesday

Taken at Livingston Ripley Waterfowl Conservancy in Litchfield, CT.  One of those places you keep  saying you're going to go to--I finally made it a few years ago & plan to go back in the spring!  Click on the link to read about this fabulous place!

Wildlife Wednesday

A male Highland cattle at the neighbors

Technically I know these aren't wildlife but thought I would post anyway.  Besides raising bison, our neighbors also have 3 head of Highland cattle.  Two females, one male--both females are pregnant so more to come!

They are kept in a separate pen from the bison--yesterday they were up by the road so I stopped to take a few photos

A closeup of one.

Another view--they seem to be very docile creatures

The male and one of the females.

Friday Isla Fix

I love the hibiscus on Isla Mujeres!  I used to go into the garden at Maria Del Mar Hotel & see the varied colors  of flowers, but it seems to be only open to hotel guests now.  There are still many to see around the island!

Friday Isla Fix!

Decided to start posting photos of Isla Mujeres on Fridays ( where we go in the winter).  Thought this would be the perfect title for the posts.  Starting today--it's 3 months til we go--can't wait to see the sunrise!

Last Bloom of this Rose

I love to photograph flowers after the rain & capture the raindrops. 

These were taken 10/11/14 and will be the last flower on this rose bush I'm sure!

Enjoy!

Wildlife Wednesday--Whose Ready for Thanksgiving?

 Well. I decided to start posting some of my wildlife photos on Wednesdays & I remembered these turkey photos I took earlier this year!  I walked up the hill to see if the bison were around & encountered this solitary turkey in their field!

 I watched him for quite awhile--this is a small portion of the photos I took!  He didn't seem too concerned to be in the field ( I went back up after a few hours & he had flown out of the field!

Going to Try to get back into Blogging!

 Last week I happened to look out the window & saw a flock of turkeys close to the house.  So close I could only take photos through a window--if I had opened a door they would have run away!

 So the cat was in the room with me & really wanted to go out, but I don't think he would have known what to do when confronted with them--they could have pecked him to death!

 The turkeys live in our tall pine trees--it doesn't happen often but it is cool to get to watch them fly!
