Wishing you all a wonderful weekend. Double D has offered to drive me Jefferson Island to observe the spoonbills and egrets. There should be little babies by now. Stay tuned and thank you so much for your visits!

You sure see much on your walks. Thanks.
Superb photos of a place that I would enjoy exploring.
The first shot is a work of art. Love the warbler.
Such incredible shots Gail!! Love the House Finch and the Lubbers! I have never seen Lubbers before.
Wow! These shots are fantastic! I love the first one ... these glittering spots on the wings are stunning!
Oh my....I literally had to wipe my face and nose with all those nasty flying bugs. Phewww!!!
Love the red/orange wildflower.
Enjoy your weekend trip. Hope to see some baby spoonbills. I've not seen them in the 'wild'.

What a wonderful, and beautiful, variety of shots Gail..... 'scuse me whilst I go contemplate the dragonfly some more.
In all seriousness, thank you so much for your kind comment yesterday.
flippin' amazing shots.
Particularly loved the capture of the two skinks. So cool.
I walked through a swarm of skeeters that think in the woods this week...had to take a couple Benadryl and bathe in the gel to survive. No more walks without OFF.
You have found gems in the first picture.
Beautiful shots. The sparkly wings are amazing.
Cool dragonfly. There are some creepy critters in them there swamps!
marvelous! from the bejeweled dragon to the bright warbler and the lizard pair - you even made the midges attractive. :)
(we're gonna have a banner year for hoppers, here. billions of young ones around already. *sigh*)
Beautiful shots. I love the skinks and the dragonfly is magical! Enjoy your weekend.
Such a beautiful array of photos! I love the dragonfly. And you captured the birds at just the right moment. You have such a wonderful eye.
Wow, Gail, so many beautiful things here! Green is my favourite colour, and the green in your last photo takes my breath away. The skinks are so cute, and the birds are gorgeous. Thanks so much for sharing all this, you made me smile.

Wow, das sind ja geniale Aufnahmen, Gail. Ich bin sehr beeindruckt. Vorallem von dem ersten Foto. Wie lauter kleine Diamanten auf dem Libellenflügel. So etwas habe ich noch nie gesehen, wunderschön.
