Picture-A-Week 2018 - Week 48

[pierces]

Pictures taken between Monday, November 26 and Sunday, December 2.

 

Rules: See above

That's it. This isn't a contest.

All photos taken this week are welcome (not just cruising).

Prizes will not be awarded. Discovering the joy of photography is the prize.

The idea is to get folks out using their cameras for more than vacations and toddler birthdays.

Post one. Post many. Up to you.

Have fun with your camera and share your fun with others!

On Thanksgiving Day, daughter Kassi brought me my Christmas present. A little early you say? Yes it was, but her Pintrest and general crafting addiction led her to assemble an adult Advent Calendar for yours truly. It is a cube about 18” on a side and looks like it was made from a cluster of wine bottle gift boxes. It is decorated with a festive bow and the box tops (fronts?) are numbered 1 - 25 with perfect number appliques made with her Cricut. Instead of tiny boxes filled with treats, each of these is filled with one 1/25th of my Christmas gift. I’m actually excited to see what each day brings. Since she is my daughter, the inherited humor gene made sure my first gift was a Lump of Coal.

Hahndorf - small town near Adelaide which was settled in the 19th century by German Lutheran migrants and has retained some of the original architecture with lots of small craft and souvenir shops and eateries serving German style food (and drink!!)

For this photo week, I was, as usual, out birding in the wetlands.  It was raining too, so making things a bit difficult - but I don't let rain stop me from enjoying a day out birding and wildlife shooting:

 

A green heron raising his neck all the way, on alert in the light rain:

 

A pied-billed grebe, all puffed up in his fine feathers:

 

An anhinga, not letting a little rain stop him from going underwater and nabbing some fish:

 

A very wet green heron, covered in raindrops, sitting quite still as he waits to spring on a fish:

 

A green iguana, turning on the orange colors for mating season...this was a big old male, with an extremely long tail - quite unusual as they often lose bits of tail along the way in fights or from predators:

 

Looking straight on with a red dragonfly:

As always some great shots, thanks.
