It felt great to be back at the beach yesterday. Here are 10 captures from the shore. It has been close to five months since I’ve been here, having been in Arkansas since March. The swell wasn’t that great but these athletes made the best of the choppy waves.

The T-38 Trainer is closely related to the F-5 Freedom Fighter and the F-5E and F-5F Tiger. It is used around the world to train Military pilots to fly various other supersonic aircraft. The T-38 is also used by NASA to train its astronauts and in service as chase aircraft. Other NATO countries use this plane to train their pilots as well.

Rodeo Horses In Black And White
.
““Have you given the horse strength? Have you clothed his neck with thunder? Can you frighten him like a locust? His majestic snorting strikes terror. He paws in the valley, and rejoices in his strength; He gallops into the clash of arms. He mocks at fear, and is not frightened; Nor does he turn back from the sword. The quiver rattles against him, The glittering spear and javelin. He devours the distance with fierceness and rage; Nor does he come to a halt because the trumpet has sounded. At the blast of the trumpet he says, ‘Aha!’ He smells the battle from afar, The thunder of captains and shouting.” (Job 39:19–25, NKJV) Follow @stmarqphotography to keep up with my images. ><)))>

Jethro has to be the coolest dog in Oklahoma. He is a handful, full of spirit and spunk, but is also loving and inquisitive. He is the perfect companion for my father-in-law as he tends to the horses and the rest of the property.

I was out taking photos of some surfers and on the way home I saw a bunch of these Elegant Terns at the @bolsachicacon bridge. I had to stop and see if I could get a few captures. Here are 10 from the bridge. The first two were chosen as the best by my 8-year-old niece, Jordyn. Follow @stmarqnature to keep up with my images. ><)))>

Flight is an amazing gift. It was first given to b

Flight is an amazing gift. It was first given to birds and, while studying them, human beings were able to use wings and thrust to create lift, and so began our entrance into the world of the bird. In fact, I was in my backyard looking for the human created bird, a jet that flew over our house a few minutes before, when I observed this God made one. The Mourning Dove, which gets its name from the sad cooing sound it makes and is often mistaken for an owl, is one of the most prevalent birds in North America. There is something haunting about the sound it makes and the whistling sound it’s wings make as it takes flight.
Mourning Doves are fast. They have been clocked at speeds of 55mph! Their only predators are birds like hawks and falcons or similar.
They are beautiful.
Spiritually, in the Bible a dove is a symbol of the Holy Spirit. In the Gospel of Luke 3:21-22, after Jesus was baptized, the Holy Spirit descended upon Him in bodily form, like a dove. A dove is also the symbol Calvary Chapel. ><)))>

While driving around with my father-in-law in Pote

While driving around with my father-in-law in Poteau, Oklahoma, we noticed some “whiteish” cows that we had not seen before. They look similar to other cows like the Angus, but slightly different as well. Some of the cows had other markings as well, a kind of mix of brown and the creamy white. They are similar to Holstein cows and are sometimes mixed with that breed as well as the limousine. The Charolais is popular in France, being the second-most numerous breed there. Although they can be used as dairy cows, they are primarily be raised as beef cows. It was strange to see these “French cows” in a field in Poteau, however, the name of the town is French and even the river and plenty of other places in the area. Perhaps they are not as out of place as they seem. Follow @stmarqnature to keep up with my images. ><)))>

An American Robin (Turdus migratorius) walks in the grass while hunting for earthworms on a warm summer day in my backyard in Fort Smith, Arkansas.

I like this capture because it makes me feel like I am part of its world, up close and personal.

I really like legends when it comes to animals. There is one that comes regarding “Nukumi and Fire.” Nukumi is a wise grandmother associated with the “Mi'kmaq” tribe. Nukumi needed meat to eat and so Kluskap, a boy, asks Marten to sacrifice his life so Nukumi can eat. He said he would, but afterward Kluskap was so heartbroken that he asked that Marten would be brought back to life. Lightning struck and with fire, Marten came back to life. There was an animal under him for Nukumi to eat, but it needed to be cooked. Kluskap asked Robin to get some of the spark from the lightning. He had to get two sticks to put together and cary the sparks. The sparks burned so hot that it turned Robin’s breast red. Robin brought the fire back and Nukumi was able to eat. From that point on all Robins had red breasts and it would take rubbing two sticks together to make fire. Follow @stmarqnature to keep up with my images. ><)))>

An American Robin (Turdus migratorius) exhibits strange behavior in my backyard during a hot, summer day. I have taken photos of many robins and have observed their behavior in my backyard for years and have never seen one put their head feathers in a crop, or puff their entire body into almost a ball. Has anyone else seen this behavior? At first site, I thought, since it was a hot day, it was trying to keep cool. However the only reference I could find online was that something like this behavior happens in the winter, to keep them warm. 🤔 Anyone know if this puffing is for both warm and cold weather? Just curious. Follow @stmarqnature to keep up with my images. ><)))>

Great Egrets frolic around Lock and Dam 13 across the Arkansas River on a cloudy, humid day. My nephew and niece are here from California and so we went exploring at Springhill Park and the Clyde T. Ellis Hydroelectric Plant, which is where we saw these egrets. Follow @stmarqnature to keep up with my images. ><)))>

Ok. I know that I posted wasp captures just the other day, but I thought that these flying and foraging pics, as well another of the wasps building their nest, were kind of cool. By the way, I was standing about 30ft away from these guys. With wasps, I use the long lens. With foraging honey bees, I use my macro and have taken snaps less than an inch away. Where honey bees are docile, wasps are aggressive. At a certain point though, the wasp looked at me and didn’t feel that threatened since I was so far away.
