The Daily Bucket is a regular series from the Backyard Science group. Here we talk about Mother Nature in all her glory, especially the parts that live nearby. So let us know (as close as you are comfortable) where you are and what's going on around you. What's the weather like? Seen any interesting plants, bugs or critters? Are there birds at your feeders? Deer, foxes or peahens in your yard? Seen any cool rocks or geological features? Post your observations and notes here. And photos. We like lots of photos. :)
Some Dolphins showed up during one of my walks along the St Pete Fl waterfront, hanging around a boat about 50 yards offshore. Wild dolphins are VERY difficult to photograph, since they can hold their breath up to eight minutes and surface anywhere at random. So I set the camera on wide view and managed to get a few shots (I cropped all of these):
And now it is your turn--what are you seeing in your neck of the woods?
