Photos from Today

in photography •  5 years ago 

Hi Everyone, I got out of the door fairly early this morning, despite staying up late. :) I decided to take full advantage of the day, and it's a good thing I did, because it began raining again this afternoon. Thankfully, we didn't have a flood. While out, I managed to take a few photographs to share with you.
I hope you enjoy them!

Many times, I don't realize how amazing something looks until I look closer. Look at how lovely this bird's feathers are! (Green Heron)

He can make his neck even longer than this. He is looking for fish.

He's spotted something in the water!

The tide was very low, so there were oodles of crabs out. I mean hundreds.

They are really pretty aren't they?
IMG_9146.JPG
I feel bad for ever making and eating crab dip and salad. :( These little crabs are so adorable!
IMG_9155.JPG
I am not sure exactly what the crabs were eating, but they seemed quite excited about it.

I liked the contrast of the background.

And a closer up view.

These birds are so stealthy in how they move. You could easily walk right past them without noticing.

I almost didn't see this one! They also blend in extremely well!
IMG_9176.JPG
They are always as curious about me as I am about them. I think their eyes are so beautiful.
IMG_9181.JPG
Each one is unique. This one looks like it is rusting, doesn't it?
IMG_9184.JPG
Zoomed out a bit.
IMG_9188.JPG
Aren't their ears unusual?
IMG_9193.JPG
This one has a cool eye shape, doesn't it?
IMG_9197.JPG
For some reason, I thought this one looked very sweet.
IMG_9277.JPG
Look at the spikes on this one!
IMG_9284.JPG
Hello friend. :)
IMG_9290.JPG
He looks curious about what I might be doing..haha.
IMG_9272.JPG
I was lucky to spot a green one!
IMG_9267.JPG
Closer up.
IMG_9252.JPG
Look at this sweet face!
IMG_9221.JPG
Caught someone else fishing. :)
IMG_9230.JPG
I think this is an immature green heron, but I am not sure.
IMG_9248.JPG
A closer look. If I was a fish these guys would have been looking straight at me. But alas, I was not very interesting for them.
IMG_9302.jpg
A random picture of handmade lanterns which I thought were very beautiful. Would love to see these lit up.
IMG_9307.jpg
And an unusual door knocker on a set of old doors.

I hope these pictures brightened your day.

Wow! Huge compliments on your fantastic photography! @akiroq They should be featured in an issue of Animal Planet! I've never seen such colorful, spotted crabs! Feel free to add the #Featheredfriday tag by my friend @melinda010100 for your incredible aviary photos!

Thank you!
Yes, there are many of these crabs particularly at the marina (when the tide is low). I think they are beautiful!

Wow, so many vivid colors in the crabs and lizards. The Green Heron was super cool looking as well. I love the old door and door knocker.

Your photography just gets better and better, keep up the amazing work Akiroq! <3

I didn't even know it was a Heron until I looked it up. They are very beautiful birds. I have never managed to capture a photo of one catching a fish, because they are so very fast. Perhaps one day!
Thanks, I feel like my photography is improving as well. It's a nice feeling.
Thank you for your continued support and encouragement. <3
