I am watching you!
I saw this little guy hanging out on his glass on my previous trip to the zoo but since I had my trusty (but not great for dark situations) zoom lens I had to be happy with just a silhouette.
I was glad he decided to pose for me again when I had my 50mm lens (on another trip, I did not run home for my lens. I wanted to but did not…) which lets in an amazing amount of light. I cranked the ISO up and got this.
I love it.
Thank you mister Gecko.
RSU Conservation Trail~ Claremore, OK
The Rogers State University in Claremore has a 120 acre nature conservatory with trails that is open to the public.
I decided to go with my boys and check it out.
It ended up being a beautiful morning and not too hot!
Seeing this guy off the bat was a good sign I thought.
I took pictures of the trails so you would know what to expect.
There are some trails through grass that you can take so I would bring bug spray or wear pants if you want to take those.
Most are pretty short and easy so young children should not have a problem.
This is the wetlands area but since it has been so dry in Oklahoma lately there was no water.
I would like to go back when we have had some rain.
We saw egrets, ducks, and turtles at the pond.
My oldest did not want to leave, he thought we should see more animals since they seemed to be around every corner.
They have a lot of really nice signs to help you out.
It was an awesome education reserve and a beautiful walk.
If you live in the area you should definitely check this one out!
