This bridge is new this year. It connects Stillwater Prairie Reserve to Maple Ridge Reserve. We love to hike at both of them, so this is extra special to us.
The top two photos were taken from the bridge. It tends to sway easily so I had to hold still while it stopped moving. I guess the optical Stabilization in the iPhone helped too. I love the reflection of the trees in the river.

One morning this past week we were hiking early. The temperature was lower than it has been, but it was crisp and beautiful. As we appproached the banks of the Stillwater River, we saw a large numbrer of Cedar Waxwings having a feeding fest on the bugs. I shot these photos. I love this species.

We were out early one morning this week. The birds were extremely active and I was in my element. I was pleasantly surprised to see this Ruby-throated Hummingbird. What a treat. We do not see them often, but this one was just a few feet away from me. So cool.
The funny thing: the next two days, we saw more hummingbirds. Both of these days we saw them at diffferent locations. One was along the Miami River. We tried, but we didn't get photos.

This happened at about the same time every summer. We start to see fewer birds and an increase in the number of butterflies we photograph. This week it was a large population of Pearl Crescent butterflies. Beautiful small butterfly!

I am still capturing photos of Widow Skimmers. I am seeing less of them, but when I see one, they seem to attract my lens.
