Welcome To The Exploration Photography Daily View

Today's view presents one of the smaller inhabitants of the bird sanctuary we visited on Sunday. And though this guy (girl?) may be small in size his kind is very large in number. We literally saw dozens of them. I don't know how big they will grow to be but at any size they are really cool to watch. And listen to too.

March 24, 2015 - Photo of The Day

When we think about going "to the zoo" we usually think about lions and tigers and bears...Oh My! Sorry, I had to do that. But it is true. We think about big furry animals. Maybe birds too. But today I would like to share three photos I made of some of our smaller friends. Here we have some tiny (but poisonous) frogs.

Believe it or not even though these frogs were not really moving too much they were harder to photograph than the large active zoo animals. The problem is the lighting and shooting through glass. But I think these came out okay.

And of course here is today's "Amaryllis Watch" photo. It's really starting to open now. I would say that it will fully bloom this week.

Thanks for stopping by my friends. Please be sure to stop back soon. I have some cool stuff coming up soon.

Until next time...

September 20, 2014 - Photo Of The Day

The weather today was picture perfect! Autumn is definitely taking hold but the temperatures are still warm enough for shorts. What a great time for all those outdoor activities that may have been put off because it has been too hot.

Today Kim and I made another trip down to Kennett Square to visit Longwood Gardens. I know it seems like we go there a lot and it is because we do. I just love it there. Not just for the photographic opportunities but because it is so peaceful and serene. Very, very relaxing. 

On this trip we concentrated n the Meadow Garden. We visited there early in the season when it first opened and it was beautiful but wow! What a difference! The meadow is now full of wildflowers and tall grass. The paths are very well defined and maintained and it is just a nice pleasant atmosphere. A lot of walking but being mostly grass trails it is easy on the feet at the same time.

At the entrance there is a large pond. it is very mossy and is loaded with turtles, frogs and all kinds of small fish and tadpoles. They are not always easy to see however because of their camouflage. Today I was lucky enough to have one of the garden employees point out a couple of frogs. For today's photo I would like to show one to you.

I would also like to give you an idea of the environment these frogs live in.

On another note I would like to point out a couple additions to my blog. On the sidebar I added a "Contact Me" section that you can use to send me a message if you like. I also added a couple of links to the photo sharing sites I use. There you will find a lot more images than you see here on the blog. Please check them out.

Thanks as always for stopping by and I hope to see you again soon!

Until next time...
