Nature Photos at the Pond












 Ponds are places of great nature activity... turtles, dragonflies, plants, birds, frogs and more. They are interesting and provide great photo ops for those of us who enjoy taking pictures of nature.  Here are a few pond photos.... I hope you enjoy them.















































































 These herons are interesting birds...  you can see more pictures of them in this post:

 Great Blue Heron Pictures
























 So much beauty at the pond... some ponds are nicer than others and I loved finding these bits of beauty at this particular pond.  















 Ducks came out for their bath time.

















Most of these pictures and the ones from the Great Blue Heron Picture link above, were taken between the slats of the window blinds... like this.  I had to hold them apart... but still it was a treat to be able to view this while waiting in a doctor's office and I was glad my camera could zoom in to get closer pictures.  :) 







Thank you for visiting... I hope you have a wonderful week and that you enjoy the beauty of God's creation around you.

    Great photos. Yes ponds are generally buzzing with life from little bugs to big birds and deer if you are lucky.

      Thank you... I haven't seen any deer there... yet! I'll keep watching each time we go, for whatever I can see. :)

      It may sound silly, but I didn't even think about some countries not having turtles! We seem to have them at most ponds. Interesting! Thank you for stopping by.

    I am a huge fan of turtles. I have three in my backyard pond along with about 30 koi.
