It seems like forever since I have been able to spend a little time out with my camera.
Finally today I slipped out to Highbanks Metro Park to get a bit of fresh air.
It was nice and wet… and getting wetter but I stayed out anyway. There wasn’t much for wildlife but I really enjoyed this snail. Trouble was he was moving -snail’s pace or not it was too fast for a picture in a dark wood. The best I could do was open up the aperture a little bit more than I would have liked and turn up the ISO.
Out of 50 frames there were a few sharp ones.
I’m hoping that it won’t be too long before I’m out again.

Please welcome Fall, my favorite season.
The last several weeks have been very busy with the end of field season but we have had a great year.
One of the final Indiana Bats we captured was this one. She was already wearing a band and it wasn’t one of ours. Another researcher captured her some time ago and we were lucky enough to capture her again. This happens very rarely in bat research so we were very excited to see her. Right now we are still tracking down who originally captured her -hopefully we will find out soon. Many more interesting things have happened over the summer and I hope to pass some of them along to you in the coming weeks. Until then -happy Fall.
