Hide And Seek

On two seperate occasions this week Teresa saw the bright color of a Baltimore Oriole hidden in the trees but so obsucre that we almost missed them. They are both males, and in both photos a significant portion of the bird is hidden from view. I still love the photos.

A Little Blue

The Spring Azure is a very small, blue butterfly. I have heard them called an Echo Blue, Hill Hedge Blue, and maybe other names. The day I saw this one, I saw a couple more. This one was willing to park long enough for me to photograph.

Just Climbing This Tree

I enjoyed watching this Downy Woodpecker. She started jumping between branches making a photo nearly impossible. She finally landed on this branch. I shot this photo as she was hiking up the tree.

Hiking With Turkeys?

Teresa and I took a hike at Caesar Creek Gorge State Nature Preserve this week. It was a great hike, but the dense and lush green cover mask the wildlife. We did manage to see a few birds, but was not successul at capturing many photos. I did get this beautiful landsape shot of the Little Miami River.

As we hiked we surprised this wild turkey and her two chicks. What a shock. I think she was far more scared than anything. We snapped a few photos, but tried to give her space to protect her chicks.

Simple And Beautiful

This is a Cabbage White Butterfly. I think it is one of the most common of all butterflies. We see them in our yard, along the walks on the bike trail, and on long hikes.

The thing is, they never seem to stop long enough to capture a good photo. This was the exception. I shot this photo on a hike a few days ago. Simple and beautiful.
