I am becoming more comfortable, though not necessarily more adept, at using LR Classic CC and PS CC. So, I went back and re-edited some wildlife photos from Addo Elephant Park, Kruger NP, South Africa, Tarangire and Serengeti NP's, Tanzania and Six Mile Cypress Slough and Lakes Park, Fort Myers. I threw in two of a GWH captured in my backyard. I don't think that I posted any of these before.
The pictures from Kruger NP were taken with a Canon Rebel T4i and the rest were shot with a Nikon D5500. I used a kit zoom lens for all of the images. The details should be in the exif data if you are interested.
Hope you enjoy them.

A very nice series. Mahalo for sharing. Mele Kalikimaka & Hauole Makahiki Hou
Very nice. The bomber heron with the fighter escort dragons is amazing!
Thank you all for your kind remarks.
Happy holidays and wishes for a healthy and prosperous New Year to all.
That snake looks more like a Copperhead because of it's color. Are you sure it's a Moccacin? In any case it's definitely poisonous.

I am certainly not a herpetologist so I rely on reference material and park rangers to identify these critters. According to the field guide, copperheads don't come this far south. Their range in Florida is listed as limited to the northern part of the panhandle bordering Alabama and Mississippi.
"Water Moccasin" is a generic term for all three species of cottonmouths. Florida has its very own species. I found this one sunning itself just above the water.
According to the ranger that I talked to, the green tip on its tail indicated that it is still growing. He said that at maturity the green will fade away.

Thanks. Wonder why Copperheads would be restricted to N. Florida. Here in Texas we have those boogers everywhere. Including rattlers, cottonmouths and coral snakes.
