A Shy Jay?

Double-click to edit...

I love the colors of the Blue Jay . I saw this one on a recent hike. I guess he was shy and would not look my way. I'll just call him a shy jay. I guess that name does not fit with the behaviors of any blue jay, but it fit this one.

Spooked

While hiking at Stillwater Prairie Reserve we were very surprised to see a deer running down the road. She was heading directly toward us. As it turned out, she was spooked by a guy on a lawnmower headed our way too. She ran into the taller grass where we photographed her, then she disapeared. Safe at last.

A Silver-Spotted …

This is a Silver-spotted Skipper. Actually, it is two different skippers, photographed on two different days. They are not the most attractive butterfly, but they are very cool. The pattern in the wings is very unique and really standsout.

When You Are Ready

We saw another Brown Thrasher this week. I spotted her initally in the tree (in the second photo). Unfortunately, the photo is fuzzy. I was really having problems getting a good focus. She helped me out by flying to the tree in the first photo. That is a beautiful photo. I guess I just needed to wait for her to get ready to have her photo taken.

A Friendly Butterfly

It was less than a year ago when Teresa photographed a Hackberry Emperor on my arm. He followed me and was my best friend for a while. (you can read that post from last August here: A New Friend).

On a hike this week the tables reveresed. We saw several Hackberry Emperor butterflies near the Stillwater River. Teresa is much sweeter than I am, and this one was all over her arm, legs, and even pants. It was certainly a friendly butterfly.
