Heron

Usually I can never get close enough to snap a photograph of a Heron.  This guy didn't seem to bothered by me taking his photograph.  He did however start to run when I got just a bit to close to him.

Dogs enjoying the water

A couple days ago while at the park I was taking photo's of ducks.  A gentleman pulled up and proceeded to start feeding the ducks.  His dog decided to just jump right in the pond and cool off.  He didn't bother the ducks, just shook off the water and climbed back in the truck.

Trips to Woodward Park

Woodward Park is one of my favorite parks here in Tulsa to visit.  There is always something to see and photograph.  Tuesday as I was walking through the park, avoiding squirrels, just enjoying some fresh air I noticed something setting on the bridge.  I don't have the best vision in the world so I had to zoom in with my camera to see what it was.
Imagine my surprise when I realized it was a hawk.  I didn't move any closer to him but did manage to catch a great photo of him.  Hope he didn't eat any of my furry little squirrels while he was there.

Motherhood

I love this time of year at the Zoo.  Lots and Lots of babies.  One of my favorite birds is the Pink Flamingo.  There was only one baby but by the looks of all the nest setting the flamingos were doing I suspect there will be many more soon.
I noticed the poor baby was being bullied by some of the older birds.  The poor thing moved over to his mother and laid his head against her.
The following picture was taken with my Canon Power Shot SX50.  The only editing done was resizing the photo and putting my copyright on the photo.
