Please give me tips of photoraphy with mobile and camera.

I'm not sure if you enjoy nature, or not.
But, I do.
And now that softball is over for me (until April),
I have some more time to accomplish other things.

One thing I would like to do, is to post more photos to my webpage.
Indeed, I am going to TRY to post the photos I
took the month before and the upcoming month
(from last year) to my webpage each month.

I just did so for last month (October 2017).
Below are 10 of those photos.
However, if you like, you can see all 120 photos
that I took last month (October), by going to my Flickr webpage;



The most recent photo(s)are at the top.
Eventually, they will be sorted into a species(or at least species family) specific album. However, the plan is to add them chronologically first.

Here are 10 of the 120 for you to view here.
First just press both the Ctrl and the - keys 5 times before you view them
to shrink them to appropriate size.
You won't have that problem on the website.

Due to the pandemic, it gave me time to look at some of my photos from 2 years ago, that I really didn't get the chance to appreciate. I am posting 6 of them each week. This is my thid posting of photos in this series.
If you don't mind, let me know which is your favorite of the 6. Thanks.

#1. The following is a Great Egret preening itself perched in a tree;




#2. This picture is of a Male Red Head Lizard. Some people refer to them as a Rainbow Lizard
because the back will be an iridescent blue and the tail may have multiple colors.
This species of lizard is originally from Subsaharan Africa.
They often are pets there. They first showed up in Florida over 10 years ago in Miami, probably as an escaped, or released pet.
They have done exceptionally well in Florida and have migrated more north in Florida each year out competing the native lizards.




#3. The following is a female Osprey in her nest awaiting a fish delivery by her mate;
The word Osprey is of Native American origins. The word means fish hawk, which is mostly
what this bird eats - fish. Indeed, this nest is high in a tree at the edge of a river.




#4. This is an adult Ibis. The juveniles have brown in their feathers along with the white.
The adults only have white feathers. They will walk streams and fields looking for worms, grubs, tadpoles, small frogs, bugs and an occasional small snake.




#5. This is a Tricolored Heron. They mostly swallow small fish, But, will also eat dragonflies, other bugs, and worms. They hunt by a variety of different ways. They will walk streams along the banks and
pluck out prey. They will wade in flowing streams and pluck out fish swimming by, they will walk in streams with wings outstretched, reminding me of a vampire (lol) and the most entertaining way, is they will hunt in what I call 'manic mode', where they will fly over the surface of the water and mid-flight will twist and pluck a small fish out in flight.
This one is simply preening itself.




and lastly #6. This is a sunset with the silhouette of a Palmetto tree;




I hope you enjoyed them.

If you look at ALL the signs, you may get a chuckle.

Either way, lets have fun suggesting captions for this photo;




My first caption suggestion is;

Maria didn't actually win the VA state contest,
but some judges demonstrated a large interest in what she offered.

I may add others later.

Feel free to add your own suggestion(s) for caption(s).

Have fun posting your own caption(s) for this photo, if you like.

My first caption (I may add others later) is;


'Living with my ex, was truly hell !'



Here's the photo;

First of all, here's some background music to click on to listen to while you enjoy the rest of the blog;



A week ago I presented a dozen photos to my local photo club to rave reviews.
All 12 were taken the day after Halloween.
Here's 4 of those for your viewing pleasure.

The far shore of a local lake;



This dead tree was modified for Halloween and was quite impressive at about 40 feet tall;


I walked along a stream off of the lake and saw this
for you to.....reflect upon. :)



This was a couple in an inflatable canoe with another lake shore as a foliage backdrop;



Happy Trails to you.
