Young Mallards

We came across these two young Mallards while hiking last week. They were very comfortable with us, so we just shot a few photos and then left them alone.

Right In Front Of Me

While we were hiking at Grand Lake Saint Marys State Park–Windy Point we stopped the car to a few photos. We were between hiking trails, and it was a short drive.

We spotted an interesting looking location so I parked the car, opened the door, got out and shot several photos. Sounds good, right? Well, Teresa tells me to look stright in front of me .. I didn't see anything.

Much to my surprise, there was a Great Blue Heron about 30 feet from me, just chilling. I took a few photos, then slowly got back in the car. Teresa slowly opened her door and shot a few more photos. I can't believe he didn't fly away. Amazing.

Resting Horned Clubtail

I may be wrong, but I think this is a Horned Clubtail dragonfly. I am not real sure but it is a dragonfly .. for sure. 😳

A Pearl In The Grass

We have started to see a few Pearl Crescent Butterflies recently. They are small and easy to miss, but they have such beautiful colors. One of natures real beauties.

TheAmerican Goldfinch is so beautiful. We saw several of them this past weekend. Most of them were males, like the one in this photograph. Have a great day.
