| my toes, post, baby banana tree |
Previously on MadSnapper, while Snapping at a hibiscus, I went into "Snapathon" mode
Amazing Ferns growing up hibiscus tree, and close up macro of a stag horn plant.
If you click on above photo you will find he is quite lovely.
I heard a very loud flapping noise up over my head and what to my wondering eyes did appear?
A big Black Buzzard.. at first I thought it was a juvenile turkey buzzard but after research decided it is a Florida black buzzard. sometimes called vultures...
My friend at Photowanna made a comment earlier this week that she likes my blog because it is up beat and
"slightly off the wall"....
She hit the nail on the head....and this is living buzzard proof!!!

Woof! Woof! Mom is curious about your sandals. is that crocs. Oh I do miss seeing banana trees. Happy SUNDAY. Lots of Golden Woofs, Sugar
Darn it! I was hoping for a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer! :-) What great pics of that buzzard. Keep snapping!
That buzzard is way cool and it is beautiful. We like off beat...oh up beat. Still we like it. hehhe

You always snap such interesting things in your photos. I love that big bird :) Enjoy your Sunday
i love the black vultures. they seem more curious than turkey vultures. :)
and i love your fern!
If this is the same as the new black buzzards we have, they can be quite brave and aggressive.
A good photographer can find pictures at every turn as you have proven time after time.
Your blog is like a breath of fresh air. Now as for that Buzzard,I have to say,beauty is in the eye of the beholder.Unique,yes,beauty,I don't quite see. LOL
Your blog was called 'slightly off the wall.' Well, that's nigh-on-to-perfect, in my view! -grin-
Takes a 'slightly off the wall' blog, to know a 'slightly off the wall' blog, say I. ,-)

I love your blog no matter what it is called.....something new everyday and the photos are great.BUT...I have to say....I do not like vultures. They swoop around up here looking for cats and small creatures and road kill. They are just not one of my favorite birds! But you were lucky to get great picttures of the one that flew in your yard!
Have a great Sunday, my dear!!!
Well isn't he lovely? Looks like he is saluting you in that one shot! Deccy x
Great photos... I always have to check your blog out to see what you have 'snapped'....
Even Buzzards know a great place for a meal!!!!
Hugs,

Wonderful Sandra... love your buzzard.
oh wow, a buzzard. I can just imagine how fast that shutter finger was moving...lol
I saw a buzzard at the zoo. Didn't know they hung around in Florida.
Off the wall is a lot of fun. You never cease to amaze us!
The Hibiscus is lovely, the buzzard...not so much! ha! ha!
See that's why I love your blog and you Sandra
Your photos are always so astounding Sandra. You come up with the best ideas of what to photograph.
Looks like you are having a snapping good weekend! ;)

'Off the wall'? Your blog? It's so hard to believe!!!
That buzzard is very cool. The black ones are a little more photogenic than the Turkey buzzards. You got some great shot of that fellow.
And the Stag Horn plant close up is fantastic!
Off beat is Never boring! I love the fern and dried leaf photos!
wow!! amazing captures! i really like the stag horn plant.
happy week ahead!
You certainly have made the buzzard look rather good!
GREAT FIND! I love to see BIG birds. Can you send him my way?
There's no snapper like Mad Snapper...
The buzzard is beautiful. And so is your macro of the stag horn plant. Great texture!
Your kingdom is so handy for your snapathons. How many of your readers have had a vulture visit!
I think I may have taken cover! Love that fern.
