NATURE PHOTOGRAPHY
Snapshots of My Walks in Nature
A Question for the Community
As my Medium community well knows, I enjoy capturing moments from my nature walks to share with my readers.
It is not uncommon for me to encounter wildlife during my walks. I have come across everything from squirrels to snakes to, yes, even alligators.
On a recent April afternoon, to my great delight, I encountered an owl sitting on a fence.
I clicked a photo of the owl right away before it could fly off. I marveled that the owl had barely moved in the few minutes since I first spotted it.
However, upon closer inspection, I saw that what I thought was an owl was only a statue of an owl.
Take a look at the cover photo above. Would it have fooled you?
A few months back, I noticed some turtles in a lake near a local community. It caught me off guard to realize they were actually fake.
Here is the photo of the fake turtles.
What do you think is the purpose behind these fake animal statues? Do they serve as mere decorations, deterrents for real wildlife, or perhaps something else entirely? I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments.
