Water Creatures and More

I went on a bike ride the other day and I packed my elderly superzoom along and I saw a few things.

A great blue heron doing one of those twisty turny things with their neck. I wonder if they ever accidentally tie their neck in a knot?

And another one. They sure are patient fishers. They are also very sensitive to their surroundings. I’ve learned to move slowly even when they are at quite a distance.

Anda the ubiquitous geese. They are everywhere it seems.

And some basking slider turtles.

And the latest water critter, Kodi in my MIL’s swimming pool. A couple weeks ago he was there with us on the deck and he just jumped in like he knew what he was doing. We are trying to teach how to get out of the pool safely. He loves the water.

Meet Fanny, my MIL’s latest pool decoration. She has solar cells and at night glows in the dark. Pretty cool stuff.

And another flamingo decoration for the pool area.

I was hiking the other day and come across this critter. I haven’t figured out what it is yet.

And it is baby bunny season now and this one hangs out on the patio. Fortunately for it, Kodi barely gives it a glance but we still watch him.

I’m linking with Eileen’s Saturday’s Critters

    Love the Blue Heron and geese photos but my favorite is Kodi in the water. “he just jumped in like he knew what he was doing” LOL! My dog Patches loved going out in our boat but she would not put a paw in the water.

    Fanny is cute but I LOVE the flamingo and am going to look for one online! Cute baby bunny!

    I hope you have a great week!
