52 Weeks in Nature – Week 9 | Hawaii Landscape Photographer

Posted on February 27, 2010

This week I bring you a little bit of our backyard!

This morning while waiting out the Tsunami Warning,

I let the girls outside to play

since I didn't know how long they'd be allowed to be out there

before having to possibly stay inside and safe.

Next thing I know, my eldest is running inside with a slug on a stick!

I told her to take it back outside but that I'd come take pictures of it

IF they would leave the poor thing alone!

Here he is with his entourage.

Anyone who lives on MCBH and in Hawaii knows these birds!

I was out mowing the lawn (finally) yesterday afternoon

and, of course, these guys show up.

They like to pick off the bugs that are kicked up by the mower.

They are Cattle Egrets but we like to call them "Lawn Mower Birds."

I guess this guy didn't like me stalking him!

Talk about "ruffled feathers!"

I was so stoked to have caught this picture!

I just wish it had more pixels to be enjoyed large.

This is cropped out of a 300mm image.

But, it's so nice for me to look at.

Don't forget that,

to find nature,

you don't have to look farther

than your own backyard!

What’s the latest?
