A Green Heron Takes On More Than It Can Handle

Yesterday while out at the Celery Bog I ran into a green heron. I rarely see these birds so it was a cool find for me. When it came closer and started hunting I was very pleased. When it pulled a huge frog out of the bog I couldn’t believe it. Sometimes you get lucky. I was lucky for seeing this in person, and the frog was lucky for getting out of a bad situation. The heron found a fish soon after this so it didn’t end up too bad either.

Come Walk With Me

On October 5th I am leading a photowalk on the campus of Purdue University. The walk is very informal. It is just a chance for a bunch of photographers to get together to make some images. All skill levels are welcome. Bring whatever you make photos with. You can read more about the walk by going here. Some new and exciting news about the walk is that it now has a sponsor. Camera Outfitters is giving away an 8×10 print to every walker as well as a $25 dollar gift card to one lucky walker. I have also added a $10 gift card to Kathie’s Kandies in downtown Lafayette, as well as a Walt’s Pub gift card. I am working on some other prizes for the walk as well.
