Rosey Macro Monday

City Park was very lively in February but I did find a few pretty roses. They looked even brighter against the winter dull.

Macro Monday is easy to play, snap a macro (or any close-up) photo, post it on your blog and come back here and sign MckLinky. :) MM started on Sept 29, 2008 - THANX to all of you for helping make it such a fun start to the week!

Not sure what these are, some sort of cocoons?

New Orleans City Park

When we visited City Park in February there wasn't much greenery yet but there were plenty of birds. :0) Above you can see an Egret (or Ditch Chicken, lol) and some Ibis.



I think this is a Grebe.



A coot.



Some sort of Louisiana ducks.



A wood duck and some other fellows.







A warbler?







A bluebird.



This fellow tried to hide. :0)





A wonderful fountain!

Louisiana birds

There were two of these on the side of the road, one flew off but I managed to catch one of them.



We enjoyed City Park in New Orleans and the birds did too.
