Aransas National Wildlife Refuge

I guess this could be in the "reflections" challenge....I took a short ride with my son and his wife Saturday afternoon to the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge where the whooping cranes spend the winter.
I hope to go back when the cranes arrive.

This guy was not at all bothered by our presence and as you can see below, Vernon got up close and personal. I haven't seen his photos yet. Bet they are something!
I had as much fun photographing him as I did the gator....wish I could still get in that position!





Whose photo are you taking, Vernon?

Nikon D2h
1/400s f/10.0 at 70.0mm iso1000 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

That's a great shot and plenty close enough too.

Excellent capture, Petesie. You have made him look like a piece of silver jewelry with a ruby for an eye.
