So Many Turtles

Teresa and I have been capturing a lot of photos of turtles recently. My favorite here is the top one that Teresa took while hiking near Tipp City. We even photographed turtles in the mud. Fun photos!

Pause For The Butterfly

During a normal spring or summer we would have participated in several organized “butterfly walks” by this time of year. Due to the “lockdown”, they have all been canceled.

We have been watching for butterflies, and have seen a few. That means butterfly photography!!

I captured the top photo in front of our neighbors home this weekend. Teresa shot the bottom photo on the banks of the Stillwater River, near Covington, Ohio. Both photos are of a Pearl Crescent. They are a beautiful butterfly. Learn more about this butterfly here

Blue Birds

I saw this Eastern Bluebird this week. I think I have seen more of them this year than in the past. Sadly, I have not seen a Indigo Bunting. I keep looking but they are just hiding from me.

Happy Monday!

Brave Song Sparrow

This is a brave little song sparrow. Teresa was driving out of the parking lot at Big Woods Sanctuary when I spotted her. We continued the drive very slowly ... I was amazed at how close we were able to get. I didn’t need much of a lens to get a good photo.

Make Up Your Mind

This is a slide show .. give it a few seconds ..

While hiking near the Miami River, I looked over to my left just in time to see this Great Blue Heron flying up into the trees. I started snapping photos and managed this series of photos.

After he parked in the trees, it was a couple minutes before he took off and I captured the last photo. I guess he could not make up his mind .. stay or go.
