Serious...

Serious, but sweet.

Decisions, decisions...

Sometimes I can't decide which crop I prefer....portrait or landscape?

My favorite species...

Of course, my favorite species to photograph are the humans.  A bit of silliness from these two!

Other wildlife...

Also seen on this visit:  a Texas spiny softshell turtle (ugly in my opinion) and a Diamondback water snake.  (Both species were identified by my friend Kala King...wildlife photog extraordinaire). 

Duckling...

We saw this one mallard with her baby there also.  So unusual to see only ONE baby.  We feel sure she must have hatched others, but we're guessing the snapping turtles got the others.  This was one so cute and TINY!

Color and texture...

Just a bit of color and texture we spotted on our walk to the college. 

Already teenagers...

In just three short weeks, the goslings have transformed from little fuzzballs to gawky teenagers.  You can see they are beginning to develop their bluish fledgling feathers (especially noticeable on the top pic).   The second pic must be a slightly younger family as their heads still have some of the yellowish fuzz.  So cute!
