Down on the bayou...

[intheflow]

ruins have the best views...


magnolias and jasmine scent the air...


geckos cling to walls...


gators lurk in the shadows...


egrets fly in formation at dusk...


and the sunset silhouettes the osprey nest.

1. Excellent series

Gators?
:scared:

Don't they like eat humans and stuff? Not quite as scary as Dobson... but a different kind of scary. I love the flower photos. My "sensitive" side yearns to snap a few flowers. Yea.... I have a sensitive side....
:evilgrin:

And when did you learn the boid names?

6. The gators ARE totally creepy and scary.

I'm pretty sure they will attack at any second--you can almost hear them think, "Dinner!" :scared:
usedtobesick finds my fear highly amusing. :grr: But it's such an exotic creature for this New-Englander/Coloradan. I couldn't pass up the opportunity to shoot it!

Boid names? I learned the difference between heron and egrets by comparing photos in a Google image search under both kinds of birds (also how I identified the jasmine in the photo, above). I took the last three photos at Gulf Shores National Seashore. I learned about the osprey by asking a nearby ranger who lived in the big nest. About 5 seconds after I took the the last photo, giant wings rose up, took a turn around the bayou, and then went to sit on his front porch.

10. "a nearby ranger who lived in the big nest."??

Now, that's something I'd like to see in a photo. :silly:

11. You NUT!

I asked the nearby ranger, "WHO lived in the nest"? I still stand by my original punctuation choice, but perhaps this will clear things up in your confused mind.
:silly:

12. Well, I can understand the choice in accommodations ...

... by merely looking at the alligator. :silly: Auntie Cedent agrees. :dunce:


who pron.

1. What or which person or persons: Who left?
2. Used as a relative pronoun to introduce a clause when the antecedent is a person or persons or one to whom personality is attributed: the visitor who came yesterday; our child, who is gifted; informed sources who denied the story.
3. The person or persons that; whoever: Who believes that will believe anything.


I know ... "pedantic asshole." :evilgrin:

4. So when are you going to start

a website and sell some of your pics? These are beautiful as are your moon shots. I miss the smell of Jasmine on the breeze right now. We used to have it growing along our fence in Fla la la land. I also used to bring in a bit each day and it would scent the whole house. And though I found and have some cold hardy Jasmine here, it doesn't bloom near as much and the scent doesn't carry as well. Of this set that is my fav because it brings back the scent.

8. We stopped the car because it smelled so good driving by.

I had to take a photo so I could identify the flower. I can imagine it haunts you. I've never smelled anything so sweetly fragrant in my life.

13. oh that's right...

it is fun to be the driver for a future professional... will you remember all of your friends when you are rich and famous? The cool thing about the Osprey photo is that this is just the start of their nesting season, there could be many more!!!!
