Summer photography is sometimes gruelingly uncomfortable, but today was ideal. Temps in the 70s, low humidity and clear skies.
I stared at Sands Road Park, where I found some nice bugs and a few birds (Close enough for my 300mm lens), then I went to Wooton where the cooperation continued.
“Caterpillar
Brown and furry
Caterpillar in a hurry,
Take your walk
To the shady leaf, or stalk,
Or what not,
Which may be the chosen spot.
No toad spy you,
Hovering bird of prey pass by you;
Spin and die,
To live again a butterfly.”
I have no idea what these are, but they’re nice to look at.
I’ll be spending more time trying to get flight shots of the Ruby Throated Hummingbird.
I was lucky to have this Northern Parula foraging quite close overhead.
This female Orchard Oriole was hanging out near the hummingbird.
Today’s bugs.
Oh my, your bird photos, in particular, are exquisite today, Hugh. Impossible it even pick a favorite!
Thank you, Judy.
Funky Bug collection you’ve got here Hugh!
