Now come back and eat your dinner....

 

This was an opportunity I have waited for a lifetime to shoot a family of Loons...this day old chick was not co-operating with it's parents...it was so much fun watching it as both parents had minnows in their beaks and he/she was not interested....my shots were not very crisp due to low lighting and of course keeping my distance as to not upset the adult birds...Thank Goodness for long zooms. We returned the next morning hoping to shoot in better light...but they were no where to be found. I was so Thankfull for this opportunity......

Take a deep breath and hold!

 

This amazing snapping turtle was in quit a deep pool when she/he raised itself to take a few gulps of air at Arrowhead Lake this past July. It must of used it's tail to balance itself, as to not fall over....people had been feeding it crackers so I think it was still looking for hand outs....
Enjoy!!!!!
