Picture-A-Week 2019 - Week 19

[pierces]

Pictures taken between Monday, May 6 and Sunday, May 12.

 

 

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!

Some stuff from the very very hot wetlands yesterday - didn't get any rain which was nice, but temps were 92 degrees with a feels-like of 108 heat index.  Still, it was worth it for a mix of birds and reptiles:

 

A lovely colored corn snake, all coiled up in a tree in the shade:

 

A red-winged blackbird chick, looking for mom and some food:

 

A green heron, doing a wings-down pose:

 

Closeup of a green iguana hanging out on a branch in the shade:

 

A lovely tricolor heron in some lovely light, posing in a lovely still pond:

 

A cattle egret flying in to land:

Godafoss translates to "Waterfall of the Gods". The name is very old and I'm not sure which gods are referenced, but I can't imagine that any deity would hesitate to claim the honor. Kim was a little leery of a tour that included a waterfall since previous experiences had included the “death march” tour in Grenada. Vague descriptions led to a hike on an undulating path with about a thousand slippery concrete steps through a steaming jungle to a waterfall that wouldn’t qualify as “Pee-Pee of the Gods” on its best day. “Of the Gods” convinced her to trust my choice and as it turned out, the bus ride and the hike were well worth it. Roaring cataracts in a frozen landscape! Thanks God!

That does look like it was worth the hike.
