A couple of hole dwellers in southeastern Georgia from the last couple of weeks...

Portrait of an eastern indigo snake; I really like the red under her chin.

Nikon D300s, Lester A. Dine 105 mm, f/7.2, 1/250th second, ISO 100, handheld, natural light, slight crop.

An armadillo digging for invertebrates in a rotten pine log. I was standing on the log on the other side of the palmetto when it started vibrating under my feet & I could hear something on the other side of the palmetto. He let me get off the log & walk around & get a few pictures before he decided to "get further"...

Nikon D3, Nikkor 28-85 @ 55mm, f/3.8, 1/1600th second, ISO 250, handheld, natural light, full frame.

She was about 6' long - large enough, but not impressively large & massive like some of them.

No, not yet! We're not headed to the Solon Dixon until late April this year in hopes of catching a few more birds & a more fully flowered bog. These were from southeast Georgia. I was over in Camden County prescribed burning 752 acres, but managed to grab a few shots...
