Soft Steps in the Foam
This sanderling (Calidris alba) appears to tiptoe through the surf at Gulfport, Mississippi. It’s always amusing to watch sanderlings chase the waves, darting in and out as they search for whatever treasures the latest retreating wave uncovers.

This is a photo of the face of an orange day lily. Also called a ditch lily. It blooms every spring on at the southeast corner of my fence.

Sunbathing Sliders
These are pond slider turtles (Trachemys scripta), they are pretty common around here in the lakes. When I see them up on the logs, I can't help but take pictures. When I go out to a lake early in the morning, the logs are empty. They don't come out until it starts warming up.

Leafy Haven
I saw this Northern Mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos) in Georgia back in 2023. I like the colors and the overall composition of the photo. A little more detail in the bird would be nice, but it works well as it is.

About
Retired soldier, I spent about 30 years in the military (USMC/Army). Also recently retired computer systems engineer. So, I'm just plain retired. I need something to do so, I decided on photography and bird watching as a hobby. Unless otherwise stated, all photographs I post are my own.
I take pictures and want to share them with you, so please follow my blog.
