They Are Back

Check out this female Widow skimmer. I love dragonflies. They are so cool and when you get the photo just right, you can see amazing details in their wings and head. This one is not in perfect focus, but I still was happy to see one. It is that time of year.

Pearly-eyes

I do not recall photographing one of these before. I think it is a Northern Pearly-eye Butterfly. It never closed its wings so I could see the other side. At first I thought it was a Wood Nymph. Glad I captured this photo.

Surprise

I don't know if you have ever attempted to photograph a Cabbage White butterfly, but it is really difficult. They just don't stop. This one did ... so you know what I did.

Bunting

I was walking on the bike trail south of Piqua when this Indigo Bunting lands in a tree amost directly over me. I walked a few steps, turned around, and shot these photos. Then he flew away. Good timing.
