It is late afternoon at the Fort Worth Nature Center and Refuge.  Clouds are in the sky and there is still a chill in the air.  I added a few photos to my Landscape Gallery taken at the Marsh Boardwalk and along the Riverbottom Trail.   link

I added a few photos to my Landscape Gallery taken at the Nature Center yesterday afternoon.  The temperature was in the 40s and the sun was peeking out through some interesting clouds.  These photos were taken at the entrance to the Crosstimbers Trail.

It was a new year and  the weather was cold and overcast.  Still, it was late in the day and I wanted to get out into the fresh air and maybe take a few photos.  I didn’t get to stay long, but it was nice to walk around a bit.  Apparently if I had been about 20 minutes earlier I would have seen the Bald Eagle feeding at the marsh.  But I missed it and had to settle for some photos of the cold landscape.  A few of these are shown here and were added to my FWNC Landscape Gallery.  I also included a few images that I made the day after Christmas.  The snow was still on the ground after the first Christmas Day snow we have had in over 30 years.  link

It is now almost winter and the bright fall colors have faded.  Most of the birds have migrated away for the winter.  Still, we found a Great Blue Heron posing near the shore in the late afternoon sun.  Here are a few more photos of the days shoot.  link

Last weekend we managed to slip away for a couple of hours at the Fort Worth Nature Center.  The fall colors were beginning to show and a great egret or two were posing as they fed.  I added a few photos to my Wildlife gallery from the day.  link

Yesterday was a dreary and overcast day, but we decided to visit the Nature Center to get out of the house and walk the dogs.  As we walked around, the gray sky did not make for that many attractive photos, but I came upon a spider spinning a web at the Bird Blind.  He appeared to be missing a couple of legs, but nonetheless provided an interesting subject. He gracefully climbed and spun in circles as he added more and more strands.  As we walked further, once we were under the canopy of trees, the light became more interesting and provided a few pictures of the trails.  Here are some photos from the days shoot.  Click on the photos to see a few more.

 

 

The clouds were beautiful on this warm summer day at the Fort Worth Nature Center.  My son and I visited the Greer Island area of the center in search of summer day images.  The links connect to a few of these in my Landscape Gallery.  link

My son and I were asked to exhibit photos at the Fort Worth Nature Center Hardwicke Interpretive Center as a part of their nature exhibition activities.   We are two of several photographers showing photos this year.  Here is my exhibit and photos.  My son will exhibit next month.   link

Here are some photos from this morning at the Fort Worth Nature Center.  I have been working on scenery shots at the Center for several weeks now and these are a few shots that have been added to the Landscape Gallery.  In addition  I captured a couple more dragonfly images.  These were added to the Wildlife Gallery.
