The turtles have been mysteriously absent lately, probably off on a secret mission. But we finally spotted a couple late last week! This one was just catching some rays, completely unbothered by the paparazzi.

I just had to share this photo! Teresa captured it on her new camera, and honestly, it’s outstanding. I mean, just look at this Great Blue Heron—it’s absolutely gorgeous. (And clearly ready for its close-up!

You have to love a Downy Woodpecker inspecting for lunch like a total pro. A true tree sweeper—and honestly, way better at finding grubs than I am at finding my keys!

This is a bit different. We were heading home, and as we approached a pond just off the road, I slowed down to see if any wildlife was hanging out. It’s not often we spot something, but I was surprised to see a great blue heron tucked behind a bush. She wasn't very visible, but I stopped the car and was able to capture this photo. Very cool.

This is the other heron that graces our area during the summer. I was beginning to think I wouldn't capture one this year, but then, there she was. What a stunning Green Heron!
