another twofer, since i didn't get an opportunity to photograph yesterday... today, my sons and i went to the Blue Heron Rookery for the first time. no flora info, as i have no idea what kinds of trees they are nesting in (the viewing area is across the river), but these were two of my favorite shots of the day:

heading away from the nest:

Great Blue Heron, Ardea herodias

returning with a stick (he passed the nesting area and circled back around, which is why it looks like he is going in the same direction as above):

looking forward to returning!

want to see more?

Northern Cardinal, Cardinalis cardinalis, in Silver Maple, Acer saccharinum

flo·ra /ˈflôrə/

Noun:

The plants of a particular region, habitat, or geological period: "the desert flora give way to oak woodlands".
A treatise on or list of such plant life.

In my second attempt at a 365 project, I hope to grow even more with my camera (and new lenses!) by capturing native and cultivated plant life throughout the year in the Central VA region.

I am including fungi and other microflora in this project as well, just to keep things interesting. I will also try to include identification and links to more information as much as possible.
