May I invite you to meander through my fine art photo gallery? Perhaps you will find just the right gift for someone special this holiday season. There are many species of birds: eagles to hummers, mammals and butterflies, not to mention landscapes, lakescapes and turtles too. Please ramble and enjoy the Jordan Lake Neighborhood.

Peace and Grace, Doc Ellen

Jordan Lake. Well, it is the last day of November and a windy soggy day at that. So, I thought I would try to brighten up our world a little bit. Here is a flight of bufflehead ducks that Captain Doug and I found, bright in the sunshine of yesterday afternoon, to lighten the mood of this mid-week day.

Jordan Lake: The autumn air warmed enough this morning for me to share a moment with a delightful critter. Here in the southern US we call this lizard a chameleon because it changes colors depending on the surface it is upon. However, it is not a true chameleon (which lives in parts of Africa and other Old World sites) which can change more than between green and brown. Properly, our color changer is known as a green anole. I hope you enjoy its ramble.

Jordan Lake. It seems this immature great blue heron is trying to see if he has a belly button. Birds do have belly buttons, however, by time they’re hatched, the navel scar is so tiny you would have trouble finding it. Alas, I’m sure this youngster won’t be able to see his own navel.
