I pulled over on the side of the road and took this shot a few weeks ago. It was a patch of Texas Bluebonnets and their friends.

Red-Headed Woodpecker
This Red-Headed Woodpecker was flying around City Park in Baton Rouge, unbeknownst to the kids having fun with more terrestrial pursuits. AllAboutBirds.com notes "These birds don’t act quite like most other woodpeckers: they’re adept at catching insects in the air, and they eat lots of acorns and beech nuts, often hiding away extra food in tree crevices for later."

Roadrunner
This Roadrunner I met in Austin this weekend didn't feel comfortable enough to let me get close. He did however let me get close enough for a zoomed in shot.

Butterfies fill the air
Butterflies were all over the backyard Monday. This is the only one that would sit still for a portrait, though.

Beautifully ugly
My iguana friend kept a sharp eye on me, but still let me get more than a dozen pictures of him without flinching. This was as close as I felt like getting for fear of chasing him away -- I just wanted a good clear picture of his beastly bling bling.

Egret unruffled by my camera
You know that this egret had to feel pretty safe with me shooting pictures of him, if he took the time to scratch. There was a good bit of swamp between the two of us. Still, he was playing it pretty cool.

Tree top egrets post watch
In Lacassine, LA, these two were posting watch at the top of the tree as their feathery fellows came circling in. On the left is a Ibis, and on the right, a Cattle Egret.

Hitchhiking hummingbird
On our recent Caribean cruise, this cute fellow was a hitchhiker that joined us just offshore. I think he disembarked in Jamaica.

Hot air balloons make the Moon Glow
A hot air balloon pilot release sa flare of fire into his eagle-shaped hot-air craft at the festival yesterday in Gonzales, LA. We were there for the Moon Glow -- a show put on by several dozen of the big heat bags. Quite a show. Check out my post on New Orleans Daily Photo for another peak at the fun.

Heron "hand" stand
I don't know what the one-legged stand is all about. Perhaps this tri-colored heron is just practicing gymnastics with a goal of a run at the Featherlympics?
