A few wildlife-y photos

This is one of the two non-insect pictures I took this time, I think it was called a Canna, or maybe a Kanis, I couldn't hear too well at the time.

  And this here turtle was, as they seem apt to do, laying its eggs in our yard, poking it's head out to look at me as I was going around it.

 And I think all of these insect photos came out great, I believe I got some good ones here.  2 of a (the same) dragonfly and one of a regular house-fly

A few 'normal' pictures from everyday life around here

This picture is sort of an update, this is a picture of those 'web-ball' caterpillars.  It's actually called the Fall Webworm, and the web-balls is a cocoon for what becomes a white moth, and they tend to nest in pecan trees, among others, and are, mostly, not dangerous, according to the Louisiana State University Agricultural Center at https://www.lsuagcenter.com/en/our_offices/research_stations/Pecan/Features/Pecan_FAQs/index_seriespage-18.htm

 This is a picture of a couple of our 'house-cats' in our screen room, where we put up a few shelves, for them to climb around on, still inside, technically, while also still sort of being outside.

 Saw at least 4 of these girls out in the yard today, the Red Eared Slider, a fairly common turtle that is quite often kept as pets.

 The family across the way has at least 2 horses, as well as their neighbor has at least 2 horses, and also a couple dozen cows.

Sorry for the quality of this Egret, I will definitely do better, this one was done at 32x magnification, so, he was pretty far away.

And here is my favorite one, I call it 'To the Setting Sun'  Even though it was taken at around 8-9 this morning, haha.

A few pictures from around the farm.

 Took a few pictures around the farm, this one is from some sort of caterpillar that creates these 'web balls', kind of all over the place.  Almost drove into this one a couple times while mowing, haha.

 For some reason, turtles like this girl here love to come over to our yard from their places to lay their eggs, so we usually have quite a few around the yard in spring.

This is a great (in my opinion) picture of a Mangolia tree blossom, one of the trees out in our pasture had quite a few of them.









Thanks for checking out this post, if you have any thoughts, let me know.  My next one will be a little different, they will be what I think of as a more Artistic type of photograph, with a bit more work on them.

 A few pictures of what I think of as a fair sized turtle out in the yard today.  The picture may be skewed because of standing over it, but the size it was a bit bigger than a football.
