I took a hike on Sunday at Okefenokee Swamp (Stephen C. Foster State Park) and it was a beautiful day!
I have never seen a Swallow-tailed Kite in person before and I have always wanted to see one… This one was breath-taking!
I saw this Millipede on the tree and it was just perfectly situated!! I was surprised to see a smiling tree… I have to say this was my favorite shot of the day…
This little Wren was hard to catch… he moved so quickly I could only get one good photo out of several that I took… but my persistence was well worth it… I think he is beautiful!
This large orb weaver/banana spider was right off the trail and he was huge! I think these are beautiful spiders.
These White-tailed Deer are so beautiful. There were 3-4 right along the trail and they were polite enough to sit still and let me photograph them.
And last but not least – it would not be a good swamp hike without a good photo of an Alligator. This one was a real beauty… and an opportunist! He was trying to steal fish from the fishermen along the bank.







I really love your pictures beautiful. You have such a great eye… it goes well with all the other stuff you have that’s great 😉
All this in one day !!! Are you sure you did not position Mr. Milli ? Kidding ,, ..but it takes an ‘eye’ to notice it. Lovely shots .. you obviously enjoyed you hike 🙂
Thanks… it was a great day! It was funny…when I first walked by the millipede I just snapped a photo because I don’t usually see them on trees – but after I took the photo I realized it looked like a smile – it really made my day! 🙂
