white ibis. sometimes you find the right place at the right time... wound up near a popular lake in fl quite accidentally and all the birds were very people tolerant. this ibis wandered in front of some very bright grass... I never touch the saturation levels. if it looks like this why would you?

pinewoods tree frog. friends of mine like to drink and sit in chairs all evening. I suppose that has its place but it's not my thing. so I took a walk from the campsite and there was a puddle full of these little bastards. Yes, I made them get up from their chairs. north carolina.
