Nature Photowalk on the Falls of Neuse Trail- snakes, birds & Turtles.

When going out on a nature photo walk, you should expect to see some nature right? Well, my most recent walk lived up to my expectations - snakes, birds, and giant turtles. I'll get to that in a minute, .. but first let me set the scene. i love finding new places to take pictures. This time I went to the "Falls of Neuse" trail. In a previous life, i'd stay away ... far away from any place where "neuses" and "falling" are said in the same breath.. let alone the same sentence. In this case the river happens to be names the Neuse River, There is also Falls of New Lake, Falls of Neuse Road... so I've grown used to these terms being used in conjunction.
