I like to think I'm observant but I am still surprised when I work on my photos how many 'hidden details' I've missed!
Hey, Mr. Flycatcher!
Spit out that grasshopper and eat some of these pesky gnats and mosquitoes!
And it's going to take this Osprey a long time to build a nest at this rate!
But look how interesting those wispy feathers are along the legs of this Great Blue Heron.
And this seemed like an unusual place for a mushroom to grow.
I guess it likes more light and air!
I'm going to get a little creepy now.
I took this photo thinking I was looking at a pretty plant but when I bent down to look more closely, this Green Anole jumped. I jumped too. I don't know who jumped higher! Isn't he perfectly hidden?
This poor alligator!
He has no body!
And I wasn't even sure this was an alligator until I looked at my pics!
He's trying to look like a 'knot on a log'!
How do you like this pretty little pond at Reed Bingham State Park?
Read the small sign at the bottom!
These ponds are for the kids....oh and the alligators!!!
But these are cute Warblers.
One of them is saying 'hurry up and get across' before she runs over you.
And now to dedicate this next part of my post to my dear friend, John from John's Island HERE.
He has written me another poem dedicated to my last post and I want to share it today.
"Beneath the pines where hoofbeats roam,
Heritage Farm feels just like home.
Log cabins stand with rustic grace,
As goats and sheep patrol the place.
The Martins dart through gnats with gless,
While trails invite both you and me.
The river calls, the forest hums
Where quite peace and beauty comes.
So here's to the cabins, hooves and leaves
To Autumn dreams and golden eves!''
This is one of the true blessings of having a blog...making blog friends along the way. I know we all feel like sharing our photos with other like minded bloggers enhances our lives. John has really surprised me with these gifts of poetry. Thank you John for your thoughtfulness.

...Diane, you zeroed in on the details today. The details are what make life interesting.
The pictures are truly amazing. The view of the heron from underneath is amazing.
wild clapping and standing ovation on the poem. wow. and its perfect for that post. the rest of the post today is just plain amazing and makes me jealous. I used to enjoy finding things that were hidden when I used my long lens, then viewed the photos on my desk top and shocked at things. these are amazing and that green anole is fantastic
A poem! What a lovely gift!
I find the sun is often too bright to see screens. I like the surprise when I upload them.
