And then this happened... Took a break photographing the Great Horned Owls hoping the lighting would improve or they would change position and be in better light. Went to Green Cay Wetlands Preserve with another photog friend. We witnessed this predation from Great Blue Heron from searching for prey to getting all tied up, strikes several times by the snake, to releasing snake to acquiring it again and finally flying off with it. Must say it was difficult for me to see the snake's face so close up while post processing. Number of likes (love and wow) is more than 650 so far with more than 150 comments. Snake is a brown-banded water snake.

It's always fun for me to reflect back on which Facebook posts received the greatest number of "likes and loves". Mostly I deeply appreciate those who take a little extra time to share a comment on how the images touch them, inspire them, bring them peace, make them feel that they are right there with me as I capture the moment. Thanks so much for your continued love and support. https://www.facebook.com/phoenix.spiritdiva/

Captivated by the light, I sought a composition that evokes solitude, peace and simplicity at days end of this famous lighthouse in Provincetown, MA. Hope that you found that it was worth the four mile round trip walk :) Where: Herb Skolnick Community Center, 800 SW 36 Ave. Pompano Beach, FL 33069 When: Weekdays, February 5th to March 12th , 2024 Love to have you join me. My entry in this juried show is "Red Tree," 20x30 inches on aluminum metal. Seeing it while driving on Rich Mountain Road, a long, dirt serpentine road leading out of Cades Cove in the Great Smokey Mountains, literally made me stop in my tracks. Slammed on the breaks and took my time taking in this perfect abstract that nature created.
