Lets face it. You are one lucky person. We all are.
All those sperm & only 1 egg, and somehow, one beat the odds and combined to make you and then you made it out alive. Way to go !
Another reason you are lucky, is because today, of all days, you get to see
7 of my recent nature photos. OK perhaps not quite like winning the lottery of life,
but perhaps a lot less pain in seeing the photos, than what you might encounter in some other aspects of life.
Plus, not everyone can see....at all. Lucky you !
First here's some background music for lucky people to enjoy, while looking at the photos;
All photos were taken by me with my Canon T6i camera with a Sigma 50-500 mm lens.
First photo up is of a female Goldfinch. Goldfinches are the state bird of New Jersey.
Their diet is almost entirely seeds.
Like cuckoos, there is another bird, that lays eggs in the goldfinch nest.
However, after they hatch, they only survive about 3 days, because, unlike the goldfinches,
they can't survive on an exclusive seed diet.
Next up is the male goldfinch. None his black wings and black patch adjacent to his beak;
Each couple has their own unique call, which
helps them distinguish their partner from others.
Within the couple, the calls are almost identical between the pair.
The following photo is an adult frog in the water between some lilypads
Let it bee... A close-up of a Bumblebee on some flowers
The next photo is of a little baby frog, only about an inch in length
This is a small Sulfur Butterfly on some flowers;
And last is usually a slow running stream, except this was the day after Hurricane Ida;
Not everyone was so lucky as to survive the storm.
