Nothing says "I'm ready for the new me" like poppi Nothing says "I'm ready for the new me" like popping out of your old skin and pushing out that orange skin flap of yours. Yay, you! Spring is the perfect time for a fresh start or finally committing to those changes you thought about New Year's Eve. I'm here for it - and so is this brown anole on our grill cover. (It really shouldn't be - because it's an invasive species here in Florida where it out-competes the green anole, which I never see anymore.) #lizardlife #herping #floridawildlife
Watching this mockingbird take a bath in our backy Watching this mockingbird take a bath in our backyard fills me with more joy than vegan dark chocolate. It's also a great reminder that offering fresh drinking (and bathing) water is more important than providing a bird feeder, especially during long stretches without rain. And all the antics of drinking and bathing are more fun to watch than just gobbling of seeds. Unless it's fledgling feeding time. But we'll get to that in other upcoming photos...
Meanwhile in St. Petersburg: monarchs making more Meanwhile in St. Petersburg: monarchs making more monarchs. (And I didn't know how to tell them that my milkweed plants haven't fully grown back since the last batch of monarch eggs turned into caterpillars and gobbled up the leaves.)
Wouldn't want anyone to think that I didn't captur Wouldn't want anyone to think that I didn't capture sloths while in Costa Rica. I did - some of them were even awake. Since people have asked about ordering prints: I don't have all photos listed on LuciWest.com yet, so please DM me for now. The prices on that website shop page apply to all images. Thanks for asking :)
Apparently, there are 8 different kinds of humming Apparently, there are 8 different kinds of hummingbirds in Costa Rica. According to my photos there's at least on more: the blurry splash of color too fast for my camera shutter. But this here seems to be the violet sabrewing, which I captured because it sat still for a split second on a branch in the Monteverde Cloud Forest. I actually did get some photos of hummingbirds in their helicopter flight moment - when everything moves but their head. But I'm saving those for another day when I've had time to choose the best one. This here is just a quickie I chose for my latest Patreon Insider + Photo Blog Post: https://patreon.com/posts/65814641 titled "Got you something in Costa Rica..." #hummingbird #CostaRica #happierplace #monteverde #patreoncreator #Patreon #NaturePhotography #birdnerd #sawbrewing #birdingphotography #cloudforest #best_birds_of_world #eye_spy_birds #nature_brilliance #your_best_birds #kolibri #colibri #ebirdfrontpage #nuts_about_birds
