We begin Our Pictures of Nature Tour With
Waterfalls, Praying Mantis, And a Wondering Horse

Have you ever heard it said that local people seldom visit the attractions that draw tourists to their town? That's not the case with these beautiful falls tucked away near the town where I was raised. Blackwater Falls is clearly visited by as many locals as they are by those who travel there. I wonder if the attraction is as much nature's beauty as anything?

This middle picture is a baby praying mantis. One of the joys of home schooling your children is you get to pick the science projects. My grandchildren had a ball raising these little creatures from egg to release into the wild. My daughter made the comment that she was not quite prepared for the number of these insects that actually hatched and survived. I guess it is natures way of surviving in the wild, huh? Out of millions of babies only a few hundred made it through.

My daughter was visiting with the kids this beautiful sunny day in Kansas. We lived just a little out in the country on three acres of land.

Every once in a while I come across other sites that I think my readers will find interesting. Nature images by two of Australia's leading photographers is a great source of pictures from the land down under. Buy prints or download images, plus our great beginner's guide ebook "Photography in Plain English."

Miscellaneous Pictures of Nature - Black Bear, Buffalo, And Low Tide

The black bear in this picture appears to be quite happy playing on his man-made tower of logs at the zoo. Most zoos in the United States are open and much more friendly for animals. I am a big fan of the zoo. It is the only place you can have the opportunity to observe and learn about some animals you may never see in a lifetime.

Although I titled this middle picture as a buffalo, the real term for these animals is Bison. This particular one is an American Bison. He is part of a herd that resides at Fermilab. In 1850 it is estimated that 20-50 million of these animal roamed free in North America. By 1889 there were about 550 left, bringing them to near extinction. In an effort to aid in the restoration of this great animal Fermilab has a herd in Illinois. You can read more about Fermilab's Buffalo Herd here...

Low tide is a common occurance. But the kind of low tide that will reveal some photo opportunity and learning experience for the whole family has to be planned ahead of time. Low tide is associated with the full moon. But each month that it occurs will be different times of the day. If you have to travel any distance to get to the ocean a few hours can make a big difference. My daughter and grandchildren sent me this photo of low tide to share. Watch for a whole page of photos coming soon.

More Miscellaneous Pictures of Nature - Snake, Spider, And Tree Frog

It was a sunny afternoon as we walked along the river in Naperville. It is common to see guys fishing from the sidewalk or wall that follows. Some have said they've caught decent size fish here. The water is so low you can see them swimming. But the sight of a snake with his head resting on top of the river is not something you see every day. This guy looks like he might be waiting for his own catch of the day.

While walking along the lake near our neighborhood school, I came upon some boys playing with their treasures. They had one proud posession they were really excited about. When they learned that I take pictures of nature for my own website they couldn't wait for me to see this spider. I got a couple of pictures while it was in the jar. But the kids decided to let it out so I could get a better shot. Here is one for you to enjoy now. I will be posting the rest in the near future. Thanks boys for sharing with me. I am so sorry that I didn't even get your names.

The last image in this row was taken by my sister Darlene. She saw this tree frog on her way out to take a walk. Thank you Darlene for taking the time to share with us. Darlene is PTO President at her boys school and is quite a busy mom and artist. One of the ways she collects money for her school is by using GoodSearch for Elm Grove Elementary School, Wheeling WV 26003.
