I always wanted to be a wildlife photographer, but I don’t have the patience. I greatly admire photographers who post wildlife photos, especially flighty birds, which are hard to catch.
Occasionally, I have been lucky, such as the time I spotted a turtle walking across the ring as I was riding my horse. I jumped off and took pictures with my iPhone. My horse thought I was crazy, but I was very pleased.
I saw a beautiful swan at Avalon Park in Stony Brook, NY.
I also spotted some geese at a Heckscher Park in Huntington, NY
Well, I had my best wildlife sighting this month. I was driving home and spotted a big bird in the middle of my street ahead of my car. I drove slowly, opened my window, and grabbed my cell phone.
It was a red-tailed hawk, who had just caught a snake, on the road ahead of me. I took a few pictures, as I slowly passed by in my car, while praying another vehicle would not startle the hawk, and then I headed home.
WHAT WILDLIFE HAVE YOU PHOTOGRAPHED?
Joann this is very well written with fabulous photos. There is still time to change your career, you’re very good .
Thank you 🙂
Great little essay with nice shots of course. Was this published or is it your computer entry only? It should be published with nice, large photos! They are so good!
Nice work Joanne! Beautiful photos.
Thank you!!
