Awesome pics. I love those snake pics and that bee with pollen is amazing!

 

Your daughter's smile is very contagious, too!

Great pics!

On the overweight knight, is that an elk on the side of his belt?

Definitely an elk. And it looks like those round white pieces around his belly are shed antler slices with some engraving on them.

Love the photos!

Especially the captures of both the bee and the horse on the river.

You both got it!

 

Thank you all for the nice feedback Some pictures were taken at the river and some at one of the lakes. I've never photographed snakes before, but I enjoyed it with the long lens..haha.

 

Funny story...

I lost my fishing pole off the beach when I was night fishing (big fish stole it), but the best thing is when reeling in another pole in the morning, the pole I lost was somehow hooked on an eyelet and reeled in. The reel needed the sand cleaned out but then I proceeded to reel in the 10+ pound carp that stole my pole It was pretty funny to say the least!

I'll add this photo. I liked the picture so much I e-mailed it to the mom of the child. Her reply was "So precious. Our future fighters." The boy met his grandpa as he was coming off the field with open arms
