We were hiking and taking photos when a good friend text me. He said that they had just passed a large number of Turkey Vultures at a specific location. Cool.

You guessed it:,we had to go look. We were almost back to the car, so we wrapped up and headed that way. The photos above are a sample of what we found. Teresa shot the top photo, and I captured the second one.

#Ugly but beautiful flyers.

Butterfly Meetings

I think I have heard this conversation before:

Butterfly 1: “You may wonder why I setup this meeting today.”

Butterfly 2: “Just another stupid meeting.”

Butterfly 3: (no comments ... too busy texting) and catching up on Facebook.

Meetings: I need to share my meeting manifesto. You can guess: I am not a fan of meetings.

And what is going on in that last shot?

PS: These are all Pearl Crescent butterflies

Up-close …

Butterflies are beautiful .. until you get a real closeup. Maybe that is just my take, but wow. The thing is, when you really look this close, you notice that all butterflies kind of look the same .. up close.

We are kind of like that. Most of us are not that different. Think about that and be kind to each other. Life is too short.

Hiding In The Shadows

I was standing on the overlook at Stillwater Prairie Reserve when I spotted this American Goldfinch hopping from flower to flower. I thought I could capture a photo so I pulled up my camera and .. hey, hold still. When I was finally able to caputre a photo, he was in the shadows. I like to think its a better photo so I have to say thank you to this cool bird.

Over the past 4 weeks, we have visited this location at Stillwater Prairie Reserve on several occasions. Every time we do, we see a few Viceroy Butterflies . It is the only place were we see them so frequently. This one is so beautiful.
