The Skipper

I sure did not expect to see this Silver-Spotted Skipper. We were hiking near the stillwater river when we saw this butterfly. What a wondeful surprise.

Back In Blue

We have been looking for an Indigo Bunting for a few days. Yesterday I was happy to photograph this one. I heard many more on our hike but could not find one. We kike 2.5 miles and I lost count of how many we heard. They are beautiful.

Hide From The Camera Dude

I know the lighting was not great for this photo. I tried to edit it to make it better but the contrast is not great. With all the rain lately every low spot is full of water. This frequent pond is aways full in the sring then just a field in the late summer. This mommyWood Duck and her baby ducks took off to hide in the bush.
